It occurred to me, after you mentioned that they didn't get the quote
right, that they probably said "Mach" and the writer didn't know anything
about it, so he/she heard "Mac" instead.  Wrong, of course, but a little
bit more understandable.  If you read the sentence above with "Mac"
instead of "Macintosh", then substitute "Mach", it sort of makes sense
how it could get so screwed up.
