Hi All
Hello,
My name's Josh. I'm from Adelaide, South Australia and have been meaning to sign up for these forums ages ago but never got around to it. I couldn't find a newbie thread so I thought I would just make my own. So hey!

Gidday, just joined the group, looks like a load of great stuff on here, I'm sitting on a rig in the north sea at the moment surfing the net on my iPad, I use to carry around with me a heavy laptop but now it's just my iPad, great bit of kit and a lot lighter, I always carry a camera with me too so check out my photos on my flickr page, just started so don't laugh.

Take more photos of your workplace!, I find platforms quite intriguing.
Yeah will do, do you have to post photos on another site to get the img code to post on this site, man I wish there was an easy way.

Doesn't seem to work from a iPad, the choose files bits are greyed out, not to worry, I know I can do it through flickr but it's a pain on the iPad. Thanks guys.No, you can download them from your computer, using the little paper clip on the top of the post thread options, like this.

Hi everyone! Long time lurker from the islands I've been learning a lot, especially in the MBA section.
I've been an apple fan for a long time. I currently have a 15" MBP, 11" MBA, iPhone 3GS (soon to be 4S), 32GB iPad, and a 1st gen iPod touch.
Looking forward to joining in on the fun (and current madness in the iPhone section)!

Hey guys.. I've been a lurker for a while, but only sporadically until the pending launch of the iPhone 4S, and I had to join. I've been with Apple since the iMac, never used computers before that., never cared for the PC experience,

hello everybody
I bought an Ipad 2 wifi 16g a few weeks ago. It was on a Tuesday evening at the Houston Galleria Apple store. The reason I know it was a Tuesday is because the next morning news came that Steve Jobs had passed away. May he rest in peace.
The first pc I owned was a mac. I bought it back in the early to mid 90s. It was soon obsolete, and I couldn't afford another mac, so I switched over to to a pc.
I actually turned against apple products, although I was an big fan starting out.
I kept hearing about the ipod, how great it was. I kept saying it can't be that great. Then I bought one, right after christmas '05. Fabulous gadet. I've been in the apple fold, ever since, as much as I can afford to be anyway.
I currently have an ipod touch 3rd gen, an Ipad 2, just mentioned, & and win 7 notebook from hp. If I could afford it I would get an apple notebook or desktop, but I don't see that happening.
I also bought my wife an ipod. I've offered her my ipod touch, but she is very happy with her ipod. Oh yeah, I have an iphone 3gs also. My contract is up, and I am thinking about a 4s or a 4. The 4s is scarce. I want to keep my unlimited data plan also.

Hi.
I didn't see an "Introduce yourself" thread anywhere, though I admit that I didn't exactly do an exhaustive search for one. But anyway, here's mine.
Hi! I'm John. I'm a writer from the greater Los Angeles area -- Woodland Hills, to be precise. I bought my first Mac, a Mini, back in '08. Prior to that, the last Mac I had even touched was a PowerBook sometime back in the mid-late '90s when they were still running OS 9. I was definitely not a fan back then, and I have to confess, I talked a lot of smack (I'd use another word, but I'm still new here and unsure of what the rules on four-letter words are) about Apple products.
I had engaged in writing as just a hobby until about 2000, when I discovered I could get paid to do it. Still, it was Windows for me until about 2008, when I discovered an app called Scrivener. From everything I read about it, it was a writer's dream come true -- and it was only available for the Mac. So, I swallowed my pride, kicked my anti-Apple prejudice into a dark corner, and bought myself the least expensive Mac there was, the Mac Mini. I loaded Scrivener onto it, and... was pretty disappointed.
But, having taken the plunge and laid down the coin for this new, but shockingly intuitive and easy to learn, OS -- frankly, I found OSX Leopard to be as different from OS 9 as night is from day -- I was already committed to the platform.
So I got ahold of an app called StoryMill, by Mariner Software. I was hooked. I got Montage. I was hooked even deeper. Since then, I've penned three dozen short stories in StoryMill, an independent feature film and a corporate video in Montage, and then... the original Mini died.
See, at the time -- and still to this day, for the moment -- I lived in a ghetto-ass apartment complex with a serious mold infestation in the central AC system. That killed the fan in the Mini -- then condensation formed and, when the temperature rose again, that condensation dripped into the logic board and killed the first Mac I ever really loved.
I was stuck with Windows 7 from '08 to about August of this year, when I bought a mid-2011 Mini. But all throughout that unwanted exodus back to Windows, I used RocketDock and a few other third-party mods to recreate Leopard. Along the way, Literature & Latte released a beta of Scrivener for Windows, and I learned to love Scrivener for the first time.
Now I'm back on the Mac, using Scrivener full time to complete spec projects for the production company I work for, TKH Productions, and having an absolute blast.
So there's me. Nice to meet you all, and I'm hoping to have a good time here.
