'Official' New Member Thread: Welcome

[whitlock]

Too much sugar is never good. I can't stand it. If they want mods to act like employees, then they better pay them as such. Oh well, your out of a weird situation now and allowed to be yourself. I guess that kind of freedom is worth it in this instance

 

[TheIguana]

Iggy!!

Lots of good ppl joining

Heh I dunno right now I am at a cross road! Spymac's ok and all but they do have a lot of bureaucracy going on and with all these new members I haven't been seeing hardly any threads about actual mac stuff like their used to be years ago. Plus they are totally leaving us Jr Gallery Mods out of the loop which really is starting to bother me, and Kristie doesn't seem to be able to do anything about that . Anyways will see I am gonna try hanging out here a bit now Just cause Mertzen and tons of other good members are here

I'm kinda torn too.

I have (or will be shortly actually) moved all 10 of my processors to Team MacRumors folding@home though - effective with the next work units to be posted ;-)

Well, I will have to consider once my subscriptions leave. I just got updated over and over again because I went hosting. Thinking about bailing, just for the hosting. Only up about 90% of the time, which is pretty bad. Well, I've liked macrumors for a while, but I'm also pretty heavy @ MacMod.com. I never bothered registering here before though. Well, I think a lot of people are thinking the way I am right now, because the gestapo has stepped in.

It is good to see some of the good ole bunch coming over here .. and people here have not to worry .. I trained them well: they won't spam or disrupt anything ..

I guess people over there wanted me to sugar coat every note or reply .. and wanted me to be nothing but a mod .. but I refuse to do both .. as an unpaid volunteer I think I was allowed to have fun there too and seeing how much modding the site needed there was no time to coat every request to abide to the rules in sugar and cream ..

Some of my haters were ole and some new .. didn't matter to me .. violate the rules and I will act ..

I missed you mertzen but I still want you to come and moderate at mac place!!!

Folks, if you want a SpyMac reunion thread, please start one, but this thread has wandered far off the topic.

Please, start a new thread, or we'll split this discussion out into a new one.

Thanks

[Mac Lad]

I'm a newbie!!!

Well, I hope this is still the official newbie sticky...

I just got my 12" powerbook last month and it has all the capabilities that I've ever dreamed of... I pretty much used it for engineering purposes (Matlab, CAD stuff, Word) and some personal things. Overall, I'm really glad I got it.

I've been lurking around this forum many months before I decided to switch to Apple. Anyway, I'm a student in New Orleans. Yeee haw...

Carry on...

 

[LadyCat]

I am a newbie here. Just want to drop a not to say hi!

 

[jedi180]

[Linux_The_Kid]

Hello! I;m new here (another rufuge though under the comand of Mertzen)

 

[stealthy]

Hi maclad, ladycat, jedi & linux. welcome

 

[tombo]

another newbie

Have been a lurker for a good two years, then decided to register the other day in a wacky state of mind.

I remember the good old days of MacIrc when 'Newbie' was the default nickname
A good lesson in how to draw attention to yourself!

Keep up the good work MW-Crew

 

[Dalriada]

Guess a lot of us "Newbies" hve in fact been around for a while but only got around to registering once our hardware needed updating .... So lets hope we get some more surprises before the year end

Well done anycase for an excellent & interesting site and a nice community bunch

 

[macaddictann]

Hello, I'm new. I've posted around a bit already...

Erm... what to say... Well, I have a 550 MHz Powerbook Ti but am getting a G5 soon (*drools all over herself*).

Lessee, my history with Macs... We had an Apple IIe when I was a kid. I'm not sure I dealt with them much again until high school, but I don't know what all our computers were when I was a kid; they were just computers. And it's not like they had OS X or Windoze or whatever. So high school, we had them in journalism--beige... My main memory of them is everyone in class making car crash and breaking glass noises on them all day. I saw them again a little in college journalism but didn't use them much at all. Had daddy's PC at home. We went through a few PCs... I'm still ticked that he threw out the 486, heh. We had a game for that. But I remember he had one that you couldn't turn off because to start it, you had to turn the HD by hand...

Anyway, then I started working where I am now. We had G4s... blue then, whaddyacallit, the darker blue... and CRTs... running 8.6 and then moving up to 9.2 until we switched to 1.8-GHz G5s this year. (*Picks herself up off floor*) All anyone uses is Word, Notes (ugh), and Imploder, although I use Dreamweaver and Photoshop, too, so it's WAY too much computer for us here. But I won't complain.

Anyway, that's my life story. Glad to be here.

 

[8bit]

Hi all, long time Apple user here, and I also like to collect old game consoles.

 

[Yellow-tail]

Hello, everyone
I bookmarked this site long long time ago but rarely checked and I've just recently joined to the forum. Mac user, of course spending about 2 years with my lovely Bondi and saving money to buy new iMac, never had PC but I have virtual PC Can you guess what's that for

And hi, 8bit
You are also a retro game collecter? Me,too. Not much but gaining little by little cool!!!

 

[8bit]

I suppose I collect anything old, or don't throw anything out. My current items are my iMac with OS 9.1 and my Celeron PC. But I also have an Apple IIC, an Atari 400 PC, 386 PC, Atari 2600 and 7800 consoles plus a growing collection of game carts, and my early 1980s Nintendo Game & Watches. Just bought 11 Atari 2600 games off eBay, including Crystal Castles and Q*bert!I'm partying like it's 1982.

 

[edesignuk]

hi everyone my name is Korri as you have probably guessed i like the matrix alot...as u probably guessed....so um hi

Why would anyone have guessed you like the Matrix a lot?

 

[themadchemist]

Why would anyone have guessed you like the Matrix a lot?

It probably has something to do with the broken sig link.

Hi Korri.

 

[stoid]

Why would anyone have guessed you like the Matrix a lot?

Well the occupation is listed as "proffesional idiot" but that would only apply to the sequels.

 

[flyingh4mster]

Hello
Just registered not too long ago and figured I might as well introduce myself.
I signed up for this forum because I've just recently purchaced a mac (12" iBook - should arrive sometime next week - I can't wait!) and this seemed like a nice Mac-related community.
This shall be the first Mac I've owned in quite some time (must be seven or eight years now) but I've owned two Macs previous to the iBook - a Mac Classic (which I used as a young child - 'twas my first computer and I had my first taste of the internet with that computer) and a few years later I got myself a Performa 6100 (?) which I held on to until 1996 or 1997.
Got my iBook partly because I am intrigued by OSX but also because everyone I know who owns a recent Mac (Powerbooks, iBooks and the like) seem to love them quite a bit - there must be something great about these machines and I don't want to be left out. Of course, the student discount was a nice bonus as well.

An AppleWhore

yep, that's me.

I've been a macrumors member for less than a week.
I joined because I was desperate to find answers to a recent problem.
My 23" cinema display just formed a vertical blue line down the screen. I bought it new a year ago and this just happened. : (

I am a graphic designer / art director in Louisville, KY – home of Maker's Mark, the Derby and Muhammad Ali. I've been laid off 3 times from ad agencies, but have finally found a promising job. Why do I stay in this business? Because I love it.

Once you go MAC . . .
you know the rest
