'VH1 Best of the Web award'
(July 7, 1999)

"In connection with the countdown of 100 Greatest Women in Rock, VH1.com has been looking for the best sites on the web dedicated to the premier movers and shakes in music. Two of those shakers are Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks, and your site dedicated to the Mac is one of the best out there. It's so expansive and brilliantly designed that I'd venture to label it the Tusk of websites! We would like to give your site a VH1 Best of the Web award. I've enclosed a VH1 seal with this email which you can post on your site and we'll establish a link to your page on VH1.com. We'll refer users to your site for the month of July and maintain the link in our website archive thereafter." -- Charles Bottomley, VH1

You'll also find message boards, tour information, video and sound clips and a huge assortment of links, plus details on the many members of the band's incarnations.
