Hmmm, it's not really important, but that's an entirely different MAC, Miss Nancy, not related to Macintosh at all. Or did you know that?
MAC (Media Access Control) is a data communication protocol sub-layer. It gives its name to the MAC-Address, the fixed address of every network interface card.
Another MAC is the Migration Authorisation Code, a code that an ISP gives you to move your DSL service to another ISP.
Damned TLAs.
WOT... sorry!
