Tangentially, there is an interesting connection between Scandanavia and the Mac: the command key symbol, AKA Saint John's Arms (among others). When I've visited Sweden, it's all over the countryside, on signs marking places of interest.

Another similar tangent: Rambo got his name from the Rambo apple, which in turn got its name from Peter Gunnarsson Ramberg who took the name from Ramberget in Gothenburg.

Which in turn got its name from old swedish “rám” or “ravn”, meaning “raven”.
