Acronym of what, Ryan?

You mean Machine Address Code.
"MAC" is an acronym for Media Access Control address

"Mac" (note the case difference) is a registered trademark of Apple Computer.
OTOH, I usta work for RCA's Government Systems Division. Got a good laff when we first started submitting props and other reports electronically. The gov't customer ran them thru a spell checker, which also expanded most acronyms. It happily turned "RCA" into Riot Control Agents throughout...
