[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1009830"] A Mac is short for "Macintosh." It's not an acronym, thus it should not be capitalised. To put it another way: [b]mac[/b]: a waterproof raincoat made of rubberized fabric [b]MAC[/b]: a data communication protocol sub-layer, also known as the Media Access Control [b]Mac[/b]: a brand name which covers several lines of personal computers designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. Ditto for iPod. :) Just FYI. Glad you are having a good time with your Mac! [/QUOTE]
