Greetings, I'm a 4month lurker who finally decided to register.. I'm a Computer Tech in our local school district, which just happens to be 90% mac! W00t!
I just noticed this topic, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a longtime journalist and mac enthusiast living in British Columbia. I also do a lot of reading and tai chi. If you're interested in freeware, check out my sig. It's done with the Textpattern CMS another hobby of mine.
Newbie!!

Hi,
My name's Aaron. I switched to macs in 2002 and haven't looked back since. I live in Chapel Hill, NC, and...at 3 pm today, I received a phone call from the person who interviewed me for the UNC Chapel Hill School of Medicine. I'm going to be starting med school in the fall, and I am absolutely on cloud nine right now!

Hello
Hello, I'm vid1987. i signed up here about a month ago since i got my new Intel Core Duo iMac (which is a great computer). i just haven't got around to posting. I am a 18 year old (male) C/C++ programmer and i'm learning OpenGL for making games. And i'm also getting into independent filmmaking. I guess the reason why i don't post often is because i don't fit in with most computer nerds. mainly because i'm a Spiritualist antisexual and a lot of forums i've been on before people just laugh at me. I just sit at my computer screen thinking of cool ideas for projects... either i'm coding, writing film scripts, or even composing music on my Yamaha piano..
Ok, that was my introduction.. now you all know a bit about me. I'm making another post right now in the "Market Place" section.
EDIT
Ok, nevermind, can't post there..
Peace

Hello everyone
My name's Ben, I live in the UK, and my very first Mac (the new mini) is on it's way to me as I speak. Well, it's most likely languishing in a depot somewhere, but you know what I mean.
I know how seriously a lot of Mac users take their Apple wares. I've been watching a lot of the old keynotes (currently watching Paris 2004, no Steve, boo hoo) and my understanding of the culture associated with Apple has grown considerably. What a company! The 1984 video was, well, interesting - I'm certainly glad to be coming to you in 2006 after so much change and innovation has already taken place, though regret somewhat missing out on all the excitement as I struggled with Windows 95-XP. I'll still be a Windows user indefinitely, but I should have explored the only credible alternative, OS X, a long time ago.
I'm not doing this by halves, so I'm going to try and replace the Sony LCD TV in my room with the 23" ACD, Intel mini Core Duo with 2GB RAM, Soundsticks & EyeTV. It's been a long time since I've shared my room with a computer, and the mini will no doubt be a quiet and unobtrusive solution for networked audio, video and net use.
I found Macrumors after promising myself that I'd buy my first Mac when the Intel mini arrived. Knowing that an Intel mini was rumoured for the 28th Feb kept me coming back, and I watched the text version of the announcement thanks to this site. Once I'd placed my order I just had to register to talk to all you wonderful people about everything Mac!
Thanks for having me!

Hello to all,
I have only been using mac for about a year now, and I really enjoy them. I have been getting into video, and photo editing with my iMac G5. I have not totally switched over to mac, as I still have my Dell 700m for work trips. The forums look exciting, and alot of activity going on. I hope to put my 2 cents in, and learn from the more seasoned members.
I work for a large Roofing Manufacturing Company in the Engineering Department. I am into electronics. I have 2 iPods, a psp, a digital camera.
If there is anything I have missed, feel free to message me and ask.
Thank you
Tach

Made my first screw-up and started my very own "look at me" thread without seeing this one first. Sorry.
To wit:
So, I'm new to this discussion forum (no stranger to forums, however) and relatively new to the Mac.
I just recently bought the new iMac (Intel 20") and have been really happy (with a [very] few minor complaints- which, I may add, still remain unresolved-- another subject for another section of this board, I suppose).
I just wanted to pop in quickly and introduce myself. I've always found it good practice to jump in on the "off-topic," if you will, forum and say hello before I go about asking stupid questions in the other sections of the board. My hope is kindness lends to forgiveness.
Like I said... I'm new to the Mac experience.

hello, I just purchased my 1st mac (1st laptop) in October, (PB G4, 1.67gh,100G). I've been very happy, just like all of the mac users I work with told me.
I am going to Austrailia next week, and I was wondering what, if anything, I may need to do for my PB to function over there. I know this is the newbie page, but I'm sure someone can enlighten me!

Good day. Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Matt. I have had the desire to switch to a Mac for quite a while but have only recently acquired the means. I bought my first Macintosh two months ago and am very happy with it. And somehow along the way I got hooked on checking this website every day for new rumors. Hmm...

I'm Jake Murphy from Sandusky, OH. I work in marketing/guest relations/whatever for a resort here, and am doing pretty well for myself. I switched to macs three months ago, with a mac mini, and am loving it. I have a boyfriend, Mark, two sisters, Anna and Eloise, and an adorable pet Schnauser, Wooly Bear. I am looking forward to a lot of good times at MR.
Hallo, I'm Steve and I'm not an alcoholic, some may spot my user name of stebu from elsewhere.
Although I'm not a new member, this is the first serious post from me. I confess I spent ages on Spymac and returned here after yet another shutdown. I wonder what took me so long as I was fed up with posts about favourite colours and what was had for breakfast.
So, after noting the more intelligent threads on macrumors, I'll be hanging out here for a while.
