 1. Mac, rather than "MAC"
 2. Mac fits if context is taken into account. (i.e. used for specific tasks)
 3. Your assumption that such a specific task is to be equated with "..one
professional Internet company using MAC servers.." is based on a context
other than the one specified above.
 4. If you want to see that particular configuration, you are very likely
to find it at you local university CS lab. The better ones, WILL have
it!...:)
