    Mac not MAC. Mac is short for Macintosh. It is not an acronym.

      The only place I see that he’s typed it as “MAC” is in the titles, in which case all of the letters are capitalized, as it’s a title. Every time it’s types in the body text, he’s typed “Mac” as it should be.

    Thanks for pulling all these together. One thing to note Macintoshes are abbreviated to Mac, not MAC. MAC has to do with ethernet addresses and such.
