2. Cycles are abbreviated Hz in honor of Mr. Hertz. KHz, MHz, and GHz are the correct abbreviations for kilohertz, megahertz, and gigahertz.
Sorry, but the k in kHz is lower case. Check the SI units manual. The other two are correct as caps.
3. The computer is a Mac, short for Macintosh. MAC stands for the Machine Address built into ethernet support circuitry.
Sorry, but MAC, as in MAC Address, stands for Media Access Control, which is the hardware address of your network interface, whether wireless, ethernet, etc.
