Hello there, newbie here and want to learn so many things.. Thank you.

Another Naruto fan? 🥹

Hi. I used to go by Bean. I have an iPhone and I am interested in using these forums. I’m just curious as to whether or not any of the old Spymac crowd still visits these Mac Internet haunts. Anyone remember me?

Hello,
My name is Ethan Bailey. I’ve actually used this before, only I decided to start using an account today. Never used, and will never use, a Samsung. That’s basically it.

There is a good chance you've used stuff that had Samsung in it.... probably better not to be hard about what company you will and will not use since you'll end up using them without knowing it.

But HEY, welcome to the pack...

Hi, all. I'm Becca. I've been an Apple hardware user since my Apple //e. I'm actually slowly moving away from Apple for my main computing solutions, but I still have some Apple hardware that still has more to offer me. See you all around the forums!

 

[tragicwinding]

Hi! I'm also new here. Just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to this fantastic Apple forum.
I'm Alex and I hope to be useful to the forum!
My main hobby is photography.
Cheers!

This is the 1st time I have ever created an account and I have been here for around 2 years. I'm your basic Apple and Google (mainly Nest) fanatic. I have dev betas for Apple and keep up to the min updates. I hope to make some friends and talk to people who talk about things I like

Hello everyone, just added a emac to my vintage computer stuff so I thought it might be useful to register and ask a few questions.

 

[KaiFiMacFan]

I guess I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kai. I'm a regular on several audio forums (usually under the name "KaiFi", hence the play on "hi-fi"). I wanted that user name here too, but it was already taken.

I'm into audio, headphones, vinyl, books, and Apple products (which I've been using since I was a little kid). As a frequent commenter on 9to5mac and reader of Apple-related rumors, I figured it was time to join this site.

Hey, I'm the UK and a recent convert from Windows to Mac, been an iPhone user full-time for a few years now. Looking forward to WWDC next week.

Having retired from a 15 year stint with Apple as a 'Genius' and 'Senior Applecare Advisor' I can ethically now actually entertain having an actual account on 'MacRumors'. I no longer have access to the 'inner sanctum' of Apple (not that I ever had that much access to begin with ). Yet, I still have the greatest respect and admiration for probably the greatest and most progressive companies on the planet.

Hello, I've been a mac user since 2001 (Bondi blue G3 imac), and have owned half-a-dozen since then. I was planning to get one of the new colored M1 imacs when they were introduced, but the Apple refurb store convinced me otherwise, so I currently use (besides my 2017 macbook pro) a 2019 27" imac, which is still decidedly powerful for all my video editing and gaming needs (I still use BootCamp to play Windows games...less and less often). I am also a lifelong coder since my first TI-994A in 1981.

I signed up here because my previous mac community forums at MacStack.net, (a) successor of MacAddict forums, vanished without a trace one night, and I need a new source of Apple info to stay on top of the latest developments and OS upgrades and tweaks. I'm still using Catalina because I don't have any good advice on whether its worth the effort to upgrade the Intel macs. I used to go by the handle metacell which was my Unreal Tournament avatar as well. Those were the days.

@Zane Black welcome to Macrumors forum.

I'm laughing at your avatar...
the best epic fail that history has ever seen.

 

[kjlanglois]

Hello - just registered today. I have a new 2023 MBP M2 Max. I'm going to keep it a long time and use it for image processing of digital astrophotography. This is my new retirement hobby that I'm starting before I retire - LOL.

We are long-time mac users, but this is the first mac bought new from Apple.

 

[c0mpl3x]

Hi hello!

I started using Macs back in 1987 and always favored them in front of other machines but with time I was forced to work and operate in a more Windows-dominated arena. I used to have a forum that I read and kept up with somewhat regarding Apple-related news but it closed, so now I am here.

My last Mac was a maxed out MacBook Air from mid 2012. It got me through university studies and a lot of good times but it has since past away and is now decommissioned.

I will get back to having a Mac (probably a MBA again) in time and while I gather the money for one I am hoping for a lot of nice discussions here to bring me up to speed.

Hello everyone, I'm new here, I hope for good relations

 

[DCBassman]

Greetings,
I'm not that new here, having spent some time with a Mac Pro 2,1 last year (or was it the year before?).
Anyhoo, became a bit more of a regular visitor after picking up a late2009 Core 2 Duo 27" iMac for £60, then just a few weeks later, a Mac Pro 3,1for £20!
So for someone who's a lifelong Windows user, as well as a happy user of Samsung phones, I'm a bit Mac'd out at the moment!
70 years old, located in West Devon, SW UK.

Hello. New but not really new. Have not been active here in a couple years and just traded in a '19 MacBook Pro for the new M2 15" Air.

 

[willhunt]

Hello. Total newb here. My late 2015 27" Retina iMac has started to slow down and getting a little wonky. Took it into the Apple store and they kindly opened it up, cleaned it out, and told me the logic board had failed testing. A $600 fix, so I decided to go with a new Mac Studio and a Studio Display. Sure wish I could have used this iMac as a monitor, as the display is perfect. Ton's of great info here, and look forward to being part of the community.

 

[usmanity]

I'm new around here, I am so excited to start commenting on articles here. I use a mac and iPhone

 

[RedMyst]
