Hello

I only come to this site when it hit the mainstream news or I needed to do some personal research. The latest was the iTunes 7 problem, which I upgraded after reading the posts here. Works great! iTunes that is.
I then decided to regester and join here.

Another n00b!

Hey all!!

I'm brand spankin' new here at MacRumors, and pretty new to Macs in general!

I needed a new laptop, and finally broke down and made the switch - bought a MacBook.

So far I love it, and from browsing the site/forums here this looks like a great place to help me get the most outta my Mac!

Hi all.

Im new to MacRumors, I only started regularly visiting MR a few weeks ago though I've been a Mac user for over a year now. I love how my Mac just works, I've never had a single problem with it, it makes me wonder how I coped under the many years of Microsoft Reigime. Microsoft isnt all bad though...can be quite pleasant to use if you are VERY careful with it

Im a 2nd yr Mech Engineering student at UCL in London, my interests are mainly in anything to do with business, cars and gadgets.

Hi everyone, I have read the posts on htis site a few times and thought it might be worth registering. I have never ever had an imac or mac before, but I love Apple, and I have the iPod with video 5.0 gen 30Gb. After having this for a while, I have decided to give M$ Window$ the boot once and for all, kiss goodbye to spy/ad/malware and horrible worms (who likes worms anyway?! Certainly not moi!).

I shall be getting the 20" imac and adding some good speakers to it, possibly a TV transmitter thing and another monitor (dell). My budget doesn't allow for the 24" with customizations unfortunately. I hope to add 3 Gigs of RAM and the 256 megs video graphics card and the 500gig hard dive. I can't wait one bit!

So thats me introduced! I'm sure I will enjoy visiting these forums

Couldn't resist finally registering and posting on one particularly meaty thread. Great forum.

Hiya All!

Hi, i'm Nat, I've been using this site for a while now, hoping for a new macbook upgrade...it didnt come so i bought an iMac (my first - mac newb!) .
About me (nice and quick) I'm 16, from Herts UK, play guitar (and bass....badly) and sax, study art and photography and drama so a mac fitted perfectly. I listen to indie rock in the broadest sense and early guitar rock.
OwlsAndApples? Don't ask!

Hi all,

joined recently after I came across this site after I googled 'mac' + 'rumor'. I had no idea, lol. Can't believe how many people are members here, the mac community is really strong. Anyway, don't have a mac yet, but my friend has lent me her macbook for a few weeks to convince me to make the switch. OK, so it has worked, once Leopard is released I'll be getting the 17" MBP.

I'm from the UK originally but live in Japan currently and I work as an astrophysicist, conducting work on gamma-ray bursters.

See you around,

Trojan Games......A Tad Naughty

I was searching for this video that was sent to me some time ago. I had saved it but the website is no longer available. Somehow I got to Mac Forums. I am a Mac user (I've never had a PC) so I decided to register. Thats all for now. I'm not replying to any topic, just introducing myself.

new poster, long time reader

i read this enough, i figured i would start posting.
will be a Law student in the near future, looking to switch to a Mac to change gears a little. i also do audio and video production so i thought i'd try out a Mac and see how it helps.

 

[PowerFullMac]

Hi, I'm NOT a n00b to macs and ive had my iBook G3 for 3 years now (im hoping to get a MacBook when I magically get £700) and macs are way better then windows any day. The first time I even heard of Apple computers is when i got one for my birthday. I hope to learn a lot about macs here and get help with my mac probs (when i rarely incounter them).

Should I be worried about Alzheimer's

I just came here because the "aluminum" on my PowerBook G4 has rubbed off where my palm rests. Aluminum deposits in the bloodstream have been linked to Alzheimer's disease. Who knows whether I should be worried?

 

[mac's my homie]

newbie

Sup my mac community! I am 21 and been a mac user for about a year and a half and love it! The “straw that finally broke the camels back” was when I was running ProTools on a pc laptop (I still have nightmares!) ? I converted and never looked back! I disliked that pc so much I traded the pc laptop ($1000) for a used ipod ($250.)
I grew up in Nashville, TN and moved to TX to finish up school.
I’ve been in music my whole life and been doing audio recording stuff for about 2 years and have recently started video/ video editing (nothing big, so far stuff for my church, my college, weddings, and recently asked to do a training video for a small business.)
Video has been “a whole new world” (Aladdin music playing in the back ground.)
I actually stumbled across MacRumors while Googleing “digital video camera suggestions,” checked it out and quickly became a member once I saw that it wasn’t a bunch of no life geeks, but actually very knowledgeable pros! I was like “SCORE!” The first day I spent over 2 hours reading the video forum about HD and SD and actually learned a lot! The great thing is when the pros take time to answer a newbie’s question. MacRumors is very cool.

 

[GrizzledVeteran]

I'm new to the forum but not to Macs. Been using them since 1988 and I managed to get my department at work (the communications department of a professional association) to switch. I've got a 20-inch G5 iMac at home and a G5 tower at work with a 23-inch cinema display. And I'm holding out hope for a red MacBook.

 

[illstabyou]

Just found this thread and thought I'd say hello. A little about myself ...

* I've been a Mac user since 1999.
* Recently upgraded my primary home machine from a 550 MHz G4 Powerbook to a 24" iMac.
* I can't go a day without my iPod.

Hellos to everyone.

My name is Kat, 28, austin tx.
My first computer ever was an Apple IIC back in the dark ages....
I worked on macs in highschool for newspaper, and that was about it until about a year and a half ago.
I work on a 20 inch Imac and I love it...I will be purchasing a 17 inch Imac for my boyfriend this Christmas, along with a Nano even though he says he does not need one.
I can't survive without my 5gen Ipod...and once he gets a nano, he will not believe how he got along without one all this time.
I am a fan of this forum, thanks for all the information!

Kat

 

[Case-sensitive]

Hello everyone. I'm a long-time mac user (first machine was a Classic), live in Hertfordshire, England, am the wrong side of 40 and work in publishing (and do a little user-support on the side).

This is my first post although i've been visiting the site and using it as a resource for sometime - a big thanks to the community for the help and info.

[mfInc]

Hi guys I am new to the MacRumors community. I just purchased my first apple laptop -- a Macbook Bro C2D (entry level) and I love it!

My first computer was a Commodore 64 and then a Mac. I used that till I got my first PC and didn't look back till a few years ago when I purchased 2 PowerMac G4s for my design studio, but that was short lived when I picked up four PC powerhouses for the studio. For my recent purchase I decided to pickup a 15.4 MBP and I love it!.

I hope with this newly renewed love for macs I will utilize the 2 macs in the studio and purchase more systems.

Hello all. I just starting working for a Computer company that is an Apple Authorized Reseller so I'm just getting use to using a Mac and the OS. They were kind enough to loan me an iBook G4 to play around on.
