Fyi only the first letter in Mac gets capitalized
Yeah, when it's capitalized like that it's the MAC adress of your network interface controller
I thought it was pronounced Apple M.A.C.?
Nope it's pronounced as a word because it's just a shortening of the word Macintosh. When you write MAC or say M.A.C. it means "Medium Access Code", which is a totally different thing
