   I'm not sure.  We've always bought McIntosh apples (I assume that's what   
   you mean, and not Macintosh computers) for apple pie, and I can't say   
   that I've noticed a difference.  Perhaps the time of year is the issue.   
     I know that apples are a lot more fresh in the fall, and at this   
   point, many of them may have been in cold storage for many months (not   
   as fresh).
