I know this is a silly nit to pick in what you are posting about, but it
reminded me that I tend to see it most often from technical types. Why do
people use MAC when referring to a Macintosh? MAC should be for something
like a MAC address. We don't call people named Joseph JOE when their name
gets shortened. However, technical types seem to do it all the time for
Macs. Just a habit from dealing with MAC addresses all the time?
