PPS. - It's ProTERM not ProTerm. ProTerm is an article on Wikipedia with a 
spelling error.

>PS. And it's Mac, not MAC.

Not according to acronym finder. The Macintosh sorts to the top of the list 
even above yer dandy ol' MACaroni, and the other 248 other MACronyms.

However it is a slang expression so case is not a factor. Whether using 3 
letter slang or four letter slang I don't know anyone who would be concerned 
with case. Also being from Canada where we are bilingual it is proper and 
even required to express the French language in capitals on an English 
keyboard to avoid accentuation, and we Canadians quite frequently drift 
between languages 'specially us old ones. I could start speaking in Aztec C 
any moment now.  THAT A-cronym which stands for A-Z Tec C (A-Z being 
pronounced Eh 2 Zee which is what we Canadians say when it snows and we go 
to Texas - when we return we say Eh 2 Zed),  Tec being equivalent to Tech 
and pronounced TEK and meaning Technical and of course K&R's C which was 
preceded by B and is now being followed by D. Upper case une lettre acronyms 
seldom leave room for arguments unless they are command line arguments which 
is something that is new to the MAC. Time was not too long ago that the 
MacoPhiles turned their collective noses up at anything that didn't look 
like a Finder. Now they are discovering NULL Modems:)

I am sure that this will all result in less e-waste and a greener Apple.

But I doubt if Lisa Simpson will ever have enough money to pay for her 
iTunes downloads at this rate.
