Merriam Webster does agree that acronyms can be abbreviations:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/acronym

MAC is an acronym for the Macintosh computer and it's also slang according 
to Macronym finder..

http://www.acronymfinder.com/MAC.html

Or the free dictionary...

http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/MAC.

Or all acronyms...

And even the business world...

What does MAC OS stand for?

Macintosh Operating System

http://www.acronymfinder.com/Macintosh-Operating-System-(MAC-OS).html

low-rent MAC would like to think it weren't so, but guess what they are 
promoting?

http://lowendmac.com/lists/netiquette.shtml

They go on to say as if it is rude to do otherwise...

"Please capitalize these Apple trademarks as follows: iMac, iBook, 
PowerBook, MacBook, Mac mini, LaserWriter. There is a space in Power Mac, 
MacBook Pro, and Mac Pro"

And the Mac WWW FAQ goes even further... it lists acronyms in its 
glossary... but let's keep in mind that on THAT site, Mac WWW FAQ is an 
acronym for "The Macintosh World Wide Web Documentation" but on the rest of 
the Internet FAQ means "Frequently Asked Questions".

Maybe we need to journey the bottom of the ocean with Lisa Simpson to get 
ourselves outfitted with Sandwich Boards and promote this NWO
