I have a PC, I don't have and don't want a MAC address! It offends me greatly!

That would be a Media Access Control (MAC) Address, it's like the permanent id for your computer.

MAC address has nothing to do with the fact you have a PC. Read and calm down. =)

Yes, he knows what a MAC code is, he's making a joke.

Well, MAC address. A MAC code is something else entirely, but let's not get into that.

One of the stupidest things I have ever seen was on the Nintendo Wii technical help message board. It was the official board, and it used players to answer other players questions.

Someone asked about the possibility of the Wii getting a virus, using the web browser, and surfing the internet. Someone replied and said the Nintendo Wii used a MAC address, and Macs didn't get viruses, so you didn't have to worry about it.

I know it was probably a kid, but still, I couldn't believe the level of "what the hell?" of that.
