'Official' New Member Thread: Welcome

[x5Starsx]

Hello everyone! Newbie here, my name is Heather and I hail from the island of Maui. I just got my first Mac and I'm loving it completely. I also posted my 'new member' post in the wrong thread initially so if there is anything you'd like to know, please feel free to ask.

I look forward to getting to know this community as well as my new MacBook

Hi. I am a new member, joined yesterday, but just stumbled upon this thread. Anyways, I have had my macbook for about a month now. My family owned older Macs when I was younger but then switched to windows. I used Windows all through school, but once my sister got a Mac, I took a liking to it and finally bought my Macbook after graduation from college. So far I love it and don't plan on getting any thing else other than Mac's from here on out.

How to post new threads

Hello: I am new as of today. I would like to know if a member can post new threads? If so, how ?

Arlo Gilbert stopping by to say HI

hi,
short intro and question.

i am ichi (ichiro), refugee from Maccentral 10+ years, then the failed MW MacCentral Alumni, then i was booted from MacMinute after most of us refugees went there to join other from MC that had been there since a split we had years ago.
if you want to know ore about me, just ask, some info can be found here: http://www.math.fsu.edu/~trogers (espcially in he "soldier" folder). my youtube channel is ichisatori.

i'll pb be in the political spot and mostly.

let me say that i have enjoyed reading MR for sometime (i use SlashDock for that).

question about usage: is there any way to expand the thread index so i can see more than just the original post & title?

are there other mac user oriented political forums i might check out? just thought i'd ask.

peace

oops, may i not post in the political forum?

oh i see, darn. i have political things to say, what shall i ppst for 100 posts to be allowed to talk politics, fluff, post pads --not my style?

p.s don't mean to come right out causing trouble but what does 100 unrelated posts prove on topics i may not have come here for? i came in because i saw you have a political forum.

 

[ichiro]

100 posts = hello and goodbye

100 posts before being able to reply to political topics is too much delay and far too much to ask.

why not believe ppl have good intentions first, before restricting them.

oh well. your board, your rules. not my cup of tea.

Newbie, PC/Mac convert!

Greetings,

I came to MF yesterday for the first time following a lead from our local Apple Store Techie [Tony @ KRCS].

He directed me to RichP for his ACD portrait conversion! Sweet!

I am here to stay - and listen and learn.

Thanks.

[ichiro]

here we go...

ah... i went to TMO (The Mac Observer's Political forum).

i'd contribute here too, but 100 posts from me first is, well, absurd.

competition is good, we all support competition, right?

new member

been reading for years but wanted to join as my latest mac enters its last legs and hoping to keep it going until next model is out. been a mac user since '84 and the macplus. main question is about my pb G4 15 inch. Screen is fritzing out on bottom half unless i 'jiggle' it to right position. heard this either hinge or possible age/ logic board problem. this is probably on the forum a million times but need help

 

[PeterDragon]

Just saying hi

Hi, I'm new the this forum. I'm a long time windows user. I'm also a software developer who has mostly worked in the windows world. I've also done some embedded development. I've been using an iPhone for quite a while and love it. I decided to take the plunge into iPhone development when the SDK came out and puchased a MacBook Pro. I have to say that after getting past the initial GUI differences I'm really liking the OSX!

 

[vanmacguy]

Welcome to MacRumors.

And welcome to the Mac world.

 

[Nintenman]

Welcome me!

Not much to say about me besides I'm a Mac Geek... I own an iMac intel (new), and iPod touch, an iPod video, and an iMac G5 (no iSight). I love Apple, I hate Microsoft...

 

[Mashiach]

I am a new member of the forums but have been using this forum for my mac needs for the past 3 years. So technically I am not new but I am.
Well there you go thats me so there ya go
Have fun everyone
Good bye

 

[applegoddess09]

Um, I'm not "brand-new." I have been on here a bit, but had no clue of this thread, so I decided 'why not'? lol. I got a Cinema Display, iPod Touch, and a Macbook [which is currently having problems so I had to get it turned in to get fixed]. Other than that, hello!

 

[Darran]

I was supposedly doing the wrong thing when I created an individual thread about introducing myself. But its okay, I will introduce myself once more. I got my intel iMac in January this year after being a Windows user for slightly more than a decade and I am loving every moment of it. I am not looking back one bit.

My name is Darran and I am from Singapore. 21 this year and loves to do programming, versed in Java, ASP, CSS, XHTML and JavaScript, I am doing some self learning and trying to add PHP to that list. I also like to play football (soccer in American terms) and support S.S. Lazio (a team from Rome, any fellow supporters?).

I have a personal wordpress blog (I talk about anything which comes to my mind and most often than not, about geeky stuff) and am in the midst of creating a whole new template myself. Oh and feel free to add me on my MSN and we could chat even further.

1978 Mac User onwards and ever upwards

To add to the maddening throng,
didn't know this thread existed.

umm,
I'm a newbie and yes,
please excuse me for my newbie like trespass, I'll discuss anything anytime anywhere.

I'll also add that I'm a very very old Mac User

Hi Everybody!

Hi,

I am a recent switcher (since Jan 08) and have been reading this forum ever since. Now that I have written 2 posts, I wanted to introduce myself:

Born and raised in Vienna, Austria. 25 years old. Was never much of a computer person, really. but like what I can do with a Mac now. Enjoy working AND studying at the same time. Enjoy partying. And sun.

what my Username means? Find out for yourself...

Greets, Gurkenprinz

 

[Gray-Wolf]

Hi

A resent switcher as well. Picked up my midline macbook about the middle of Feb this year, and love it. Nice site , and so far, lots of helpful info.

 

[t-unit]

I have joined because I want help identifying an Apple IIe game that I used to play when I was a kid. There isn't much I remember about it...I think it was a maze, and there were wizards and dragons if I'm not mistaken. I know this only describes about 80 games, but I would appreciate any suggestions. The game was so fun!

 

[Hdunlopclark]

Well, hello... sort of

Hey, I just wanted to say hello. Yes i have made posts before but i haven't had the time to post regularly so this is the start of seeing me a lot more! You can see what i have in the signature below! Thanks, see you around,

[farmerku]

my names Jake...

Still using a damn dell desktop but I graduate from college in May so maaaaybe I can get enough grad cash to pick up the Black MacBook 2.4

For some reason in the last year I have just become very board with pc's in general and there is just something about Apple that intrigues me as a company that makes me want all of their products.

I really hope to have my macbook in less than a month and hopefully I be on here all day asking questions and maybe answering a few myself..
