Hello, to all members old and new.

New guy

Hey all, switched from my beloved Windows Mobile 6.5 phone yesterday to the new iPhone 3GS. So far it seems alright. Going to definitely need to jailbreak this thing today though, I'm not liking the restrictiveness of the phone. Windows Mobile may be a bit slower but it seems like there's way more programs and modifications out there.

Anyway, I figured I would say hi, sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Just discovered this forum.

Hi everyone. I just would like to introduce myself. I am Charles and I find this forum really great.

I thought I might get some tips or something here. By the way, I only just own an iPhone 3G and a 2nd Gen iPod Touch.. but still, this might be a great resource to making the most out of these mac gadgets i have.

My name is Mark and I am also a MacRumors forum addict.

I secretly wish my company would block access from work...I would get a lot more work done

Just joined a few weeks ago and have found it extremely helpful and I have been able to chime in on a few topics as well to help.

Have:

iMac Mini, MacBook, AppleTV, Airport Extreme, and several iPods including two iPhone 3Gs and an Ipod Touch.

Been a Mac user since 1990 in college, been an owner since 1996. LOVED working for a company (AccuWeather) that only used Macs inhouse for all forecasting work and of course, for all their graphical needs. it was nice to see different parts of the company get the neweast Macs as they came out. Haven't worked their in 7 years...so I have to buy my own and live vicariously through others.

Hello everyone,

I have been a pc user since 1996 and today made my first mac purchase . I got sick and tired of windows and the cheaply made pc's that are on the market. Windows 7 to me was not very good, boring and buggy on my laptop. bought a dell studio 1735 in August of 2008, should have bought a mac back then. Today I bought the 27 inch iMac with the i7 core processor and 8 gigs of ram. I can't wait to get it, suppose to ship by January 12th. Nice forum you have here, will visit often, cheers!.

Hello,

I joined this forum particularly to ask one question but have been reading the advise given for some time for just about any problem I have had with my mac.

 

[Ca$hflow]

New and not new to MacRumors:Forums - Hello

Hi, I've been following MacRumors for quite some time now but now decided to register. Is it me or is this site addictive. What I love about it is that there is a different kind of two way communication from what I have witnessed.

Any tips? Where is your favourite area of the forums. Nice to see trolling doesn't happen here so far that I have noticed. Let free thought flow!

 

[Clayster85]

[DamienAddicted]

New here, but sooo devoted to MAC!!!

Hello everyone! I'm a proud owner of a 13" Macbook, duo core, intel 2.0GHz, 160GB, 2GBram. I've built a website devoted to mac users, just a lil free one, just for fun. I'm absolutely in love with my macbook, as I'm sure you all are in love with yours. MAC RULES THE WORLD!!! Well, eventually anyways... and with the introduction of the ipad into the world, things are going to turn towards Apple inc. even more, and I say... "FULL SPEED AHEAD STEVE!!!"

I'm happy to have joined this forum, it's long overdue, I hope to meet a lot of friends and fellow mac users here, share my knowledge, and hopefully gain some knowledge as well! So to start off with, here are three programs that I think are amazing upgrades to any mac, (except Jitouch, as it requires either touch screen or trackpad) You all likely know of these programs already, but if not, then I've helped contribute to the mac community as a start, with hopes of good times ahead. Thanks for reading my post, feel free to check out my profile, and my new website! Have fun everyone, and lets all say it together... "APPLE = LIFE!!!"

Here's my three programs I'd like to mention so far...

1) Jitouch - Extra gestures for the trackpad or magic mouse!
2) Bumptop - 3D desktop for your mac!! Very cool!!
3) FluidTunes - Isight control of your itunes music!!! Amazing, handsfree!!

Please visit my website.
Damien.

Well, I agree, everyone does have their preference. I can't bash PC, I used PC for years and years. Lol, all of my computer knowledge comes from PC. I won my macbook in a draw, and since then, I've been very, very impressed. In my opinion, the difference is night and day, but as said, to each his/her own, I'm a mac man myself though.

I work at a Sobeys Warehouse, and they had a Sobeys family day at Canada's Wonderland. (Theme Park) They offered cheap tickets, so I took my friend and his girl, and my girl. They held a draw at mid day, hundreds of people entered it. There were 15 prizes, and then the grand prize, my macbook. When they called my name, I nearly fainted. (literally) My girlfriend was sooooo jealous! (She owned a macbook at the time, but was in transition to an imac desktop) At that time, I'd never even used a mac. I had no idea how to even use it. When it was finally shipped to me, and I opened it, turning it on was like finding a bar of gold bouillon. Lol. My life hasn't been the same since.

I used to dabble here and there with computers, but now, I'm in head first. I've started business ideas, an online charitable organization, a few websites, I even used my mac in school, business computers, and recieved an award for mastering dreamweaver and e-business! I live on my mac, give or take a few hours for other things. Lmao.

 

[Eunice1]

Newbie in this forum

Hi everyone. I've recently started a retail business - I've started with laptop accessories and wanting to learn how to expand my business without needing too much capital. I hope this forum is the best venue to learn about this and meet people who can help me.

 

[tammyinkansas]

Ive been a member less than 2 months and so far, Ive posted my own help in other peoples threads more than I expected. I joined because of a problem Im having with my imac(still have no solution). I like this site although I feel a few members in here are judgemental against me because of my occupation. Guess I shouldnt have been honest about that or maybe shouldnt have even answered it. I have no intention of offending anybody here, although it seems that my "adult" sense of humor has maybe offended a few members. I guess they shouldnt read anymore of my responses. If the Moderator says something about it, I will comply. But for now, Im glad to be here.

 

[Imty]

Hi everyone,
I joined to get some knowledge behind me when I eventually get my first macbook (or pro -depending what the new ones like when they come out...) in April.
