Ok...I see it mentioned here all the time, and I feel like an idiot asking, but all the threads I've read make no mention of sources for the stuff....

What is, and where do I get, MAAS? Is it something my local Lowes or Home Depot will carry? Sears? Wal-Mart? What's it cost?

I'm also quite curious as to what MAAS stands for, if it even is an acronym. I'm usually good at figuring those out, but I can't get this one...

Sorry if this is something you guys see alot, but I couldn't find an answer in the threads I've read....
