Actually, the "M stood for "Morf" at the time, as in Mr. Morf, the narrator of the 
DimShip Saga (a series of prose form proposals starting with p414, listed at 
http://www.nomic.net/~dwhytock/literature.html ).  The society came from the 
company described therein, as the entity producing DimShips.  Mostly, though, the 
society was meant as a voting bloc organization...and might still be, if I can unearth 
the charter.

Magitech...Wasn't that in Final Fantasy 3?  Someone had said originally that it 
sounded familiar...but at the time I thought they were thinking of N-Tech, the 
company from Max Steel.
