Hello all!

Hey, my names Lewis, I'm a 20 year old medical student in UK, a long time lurker but thought I should start posting, so got myself a profile :). Just wanted to say hello to everyone, your a really nice group of people on this forum and I hope I can be part of that. Buying a macbook in september and I'm sure you lot will be an invaluable resource during that time and hopefully I can give something back. Anyway I'll stop rambling, so what I'm tryin to say is HELLO! :D
 
Newbie... or not?

I would like to say that I am a newbie.. BUT. When I had the iphone before I was a member with around 300 posts.. after I shattered my iphone, I deleted my account on here, and joined PinStack (because I had a BB). I cant for the life of me remember my name, I think it was Jenna8620 or something like that.

So in a sense, yes I am a newbie..

My name is Jenna (obviously), I am 23, and I graduate in 2 semesters as a Paralegal, law school is in my plans for life, I am on my 2nd 1st gen iPhone, and I am getting a Macbook as soon as my school money comes in.. :) :cool:
 
Newbie and want to thank

Hello

The names Mike, my first two computers in the mid 90's were macs but I've been exclusivly PC since then. So I guess my name username should have been MACtoPCtoMAC?......anyway since I got my Iphone last year ive been hooked back into the Mac world so I am going to get a new macbook pro in the next week or so. I've been lurking for awhile now so I thought it was time to introduce myself.

Cheers

My Dirty Dozen

Howdy, y'all!

This is my 12th post on the board (still proudly rated a noob) and I just discovered this thread. I've worked with Mac iBooks for a few years and found them nice enough. The thing that pushed me over the edge in favor of the Mac was the clean OS and its superiority in fighting viruses. Well, that and my old, old PC now qualifies as a historic monument.

Hope to run into some other newbies on the playground and happy Apple biting!

Cheers!

Hello Guys - New Guy From mac-forums

Hi guys,

I am Chrismac from mac-forums.com, and thought I would sign up here :)

My career is in IT and I have been working on MS/Linux based netrworks since day 1, however I 'switched' in June this year after purchasing an iPhone!

This is what I have had pass through my hands since June this year [in order]:-

Apple iPhone 3G.
Apple MacBook White 2GB RAM > Then upgraded to 4GB RAM.
Apple iPhone 3GS.
Apple MacBook Pro 13" 2GB RAM / 160GB HDD > Then upgraded to 4GB RAM / 320GB HDD.
Apple MacBook Pro 15" 2GB RAM / 250GB HDD > Just ordered 4GB of RAM and a 320GB 7200rpm HDD.

As you can tell I have tuned into a Mac NUT! :eek:

I have got to the stage where using a MS machine grates on me! lol ;)


Anyway - hello! :apple:
 
Just want to say hi!

Been reading the MacRumors website for a while now, but never really bothered to register until now.

Just a quick post to say hello to everyone, and hopefully i'll be able to give my input to some posts and also be getting some great advice off everyone here :)

Got my first white MacBook about a year ago, slightly upgraded it with a new bigger hard drive and more memory, then i got myself the current iMac only a few months ago and loving it. Then i went Apple mad and signed upto a contract on O2 for the iPhone 3G S. Currently im a I.T Engineer here in Scotland for a nationwide company based in the UK.

Hobbys including the likes of computers, gaming, photography, cycling, eating out etc.

So, anyway ill stop going on but looking forward to being a regular contributer to the forum.

Thanks for reading :cool:
 
I just joined the forum after doing a google search for "ipod collectors," as this site came up under the top 2 results. I follow macrumors on Twitter and get alot of useful info, so thought would give this a try....

I did the search for "ipod collectors" b/c a family member of mine has the original ipod and was going to use as a trade in at the Apple Store for a new ipod. A tech working there suggested that he sell as a Collector's Item instead, as would be worth ALOT more than the trade in offer, so posting this in case any of you ipod collectors might be interested? I believe it is the first generation/first model released, and it uses the firewire charger. It looks practically new to me, and just noticed some minor surface scratches on the silver back -- And it works fine! I am not totally sure of the gigabytes, but "think" it is 5GB model.

I told him that I would do some research on it, so if anyone out there has any interest, or can suggest where I should further look for pricing info, etc. I would greatly appreciate :)

Also, I have a 4GB ipod mini (Gold Color) that is still in the box and was never used (It also charges via the firewire cable). Additionally, I have the ipod mini Dock that is in the wrapped box and unopened box.

Thanks.....:apple:

Funniest Mac heart attack story below

Hi. Just like the original Mac said on that beautiful wintry day, January 24, 1984. :D

Rank newbie to MR -- have mercy on my n00b soul. ;) Used Macs since the SE in 1987 and never looked back ever since.

Funniest Mac heart attack story: one day in 1992, I decided to boot an old pinball game on a 400K MFS-formatted Mac 3.5" floppy disk on a SE with a 20 MB hard drive while waiting for somebody. I didn't realize it, but the bootable disk had System 1.0 on it. So when it booted into the original Finder, I didn't see the 20 MB hard drive icon on the desktop. I just about needed emergency dry-cleaning, especially since it wasn't my Mac. ;) Then I remembered that System 1.0 had no idea what hard drives were and couldn't even mount them. Game worked great. Afterwards, rebooted and saw the familiar System 6 desktop AND the hard drive icon. Whew!

Well, hey, hi to everybody -- I'm liking my 7th day here. :)
 
UK calling

Hi.

Not exactly a 'new' member. I first joined a couple of years ago when I bought a refurb macbook that came with a duff battery. I sent it back, and went back to Windows with a Samsung laptop.

Now that laptop has started dying, I took the opportunity (and staff discount!) to get a MacBook. (and it works!)

So, I will probably be here more from now on.
 
I'm new~

Uh, yeah. A little scared though, haaa.

This is my first mac, actually so I'm still getting used to it.
Got any suggestions?

That's me. c:
I'm not nine, by the way. :c
As that's the most common response I get.
 
New to the Forum Introduction

Hey Guys,

My name is Andrew and I work as a certified Mac tech for my college that I attend in CT.

I have been wanting an iPhone for over a year now but having t-mobile doesn't really help. So my girlfriend bought me an Ipod touch, thinking I would kick my obsession and buy a blackberry like her. That plan back fired the iTouch just made me want one more :).

So this weekend I bit the bullet and bought a used iPhone 3g on ebay for 300 dollars and then the next morning bought another 3g from a friend of a friend for 100 bucks. I don't know where he was the night before :confused:. In any case I have TWO NOW!! :D, I'm selling one of them though because being a college student I kinda need the money.

I'll be hanging out here and over in the other sections but being a new iPhone user I have a feeling i'll be in here a lot to check out what you guys are up to.

Sorry for the long read, I just wanted to introduce myself.
 
Hey everyone,

I'm Blake, from Auckland, New Zealand.

I'm 16 years old and work at MagnumMac, NZ's largest Premium Reseller. As we don't have an official Apple presence in NZ yet, we're basically the closest you get.

I switched to the Mac in 2006, and have used them on and off as well for many years.

I've read MacRumors for a while and decided to join :) I maintain a YouTube page at youtube.com/annoyedwithsignup and a website at www.ludicroushypocrisy.com.

Hope to meet some of you and stay for awhile :)
 
Just found this site

Howdy, I was doing a photo search and discovered this web site. Figure the right thing to do is introduce myself; so howdy again! I am a long time Mac user and figure this might be a good place to visit every once in a while, even though I'm what might be called "old school"... :D
