Mac GUI
mac-address
On a hub network:The host (PC-A) computer sends the frame out its Network Interface Card (NIC) to Fast-Ethernet 0/1 (F0/1) on the HUB. The HUB then sends that frame out every interface (except incoming interface). If the destination MAC address is aaa.bbb.ccc, and PC-B has MAC address aaa.aaa.bbb, then PC-B's NIC will ignore the frame and nothing else will happen.
The IEEE 1394 Interface or Port is also know by it's Apple Mac name as FireWire.
A device or computer gets their MAC address from their Network Interface Card (or NIC). This is not something that a user is able to change (See discussion as to why you can change your MAC address). However an IP address can be statically assigned to you which means a network administrator has physically typed out what your IP address and subnet mask is. Another way to get an IP address is through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, or DHCP as it is most commonly known as.
Media Access Control address. This is the hardware/vendor set address of a Network Interface Card. The format is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx With the first 3 hexadecimal digits specifying the manufacturer. Network routers and switches use this address to control traffic to a Network Interface card, it is often tied to a user assigned IP Address (b.b.b.b, 4 octets, usually decimal, 0-255 each).
GUI Graphical user interface. There are two different GUI's--Basic or Aero.
Graphic User Interface 98 Windows 2k XP MAC etc. You can physically work on one with the computer with a mouse and keyboard.
Mac OS has a graphical user interface (GUI).
GUI (pronounced "gooey") = Graphical User Interface
Mac is short for Macintosh, the first computer with a graphical user interface in 1984 made by Apple.
This generally describes the screen you are looking at in a program, and the icons you may click to accomplish (tasks). They are "graphical," rather than, say, verbal, you are the user, and the page is the interface.
Although both Windows and OSX have built in command line interfaces, the default interface uses little pictures or icons that have underlying commands that the user need not know. This type of interface is a Graphical User Interface, or GUI.
Mac OS 10.5 is the fifth version of Mac OS 10 and is codenamed "Leopard". It provides stability enhancements as well as new features and a better user interface.
From a user standpoint, the main differences are in the graphic user interface (GUI) - the icons on a mac are in different places than the icons on a windows box. I sued to use a windows box and now I use a mac - it doesn't crash as much, it doesn't need virus software yet, and it's really easy to use - I just plug it in and it works. Downside: macs do not support as many games as windows does. But that's changing.
There are two types of interface.. 1. User Interface 2. Application Interface
It stands for Graphical User Interface, its like windows or mac, where you move a mouse click on things and they interact with you.
A graphical user interface application. For example, a Windows program or a Mac program.
