Apple Dislikes the MAC in MAC Addresses
Apple Corporation pulled ads with the term MAC, even though the MAC was referring to “Media Access Control” and not “Apple Macintosh.” What I’m wondering: MAC came about as part of networking specifications long before Apple Macintoshes existed. Can a later trademark overcome a pre-existing technical term?
I wonder what this means for eMacs…. the popular text editor.
