MAC? Mac!

I don't understand why people capitalize Mac like that. What do they think it's an acronym for?

They're technically writing it in all uppercase. "Mac" is capitalized. "MAC" is all uppercase.

Oh indeed. It's like the people who call Computer Graphics effects in movies CGI.

No, CGI was a type of web script that existed right when CG (aka, computer graphics) came to a head and reporters got everyone mixed up.

It's not a mix up. It stands for computer-generated imagery.
