[thelist] Pet Peeve: MAC is not the same as Mac

Here's where I share information about a pet peeve of mine:

MAC:
    Media Access Control address
    http://webopedia.internet.com/TERM/M/MAC_address.html

Mac: 
    Short for Macintosh.

It's trivial, yes, but for some of us, it's as distracting as hearing
someone say "nuke-u-lar" when pronouncing "nuclear." And detracts from the
larger message.
