Hi

I have been using Macs of one sort or another since 1990 first at work where we had a little revolutionary group using them and really annoyed the DOS users when we linked ours into a network. Primitave but enabled printer sharing.

My MacPro is early 2008 and MacBook Pro 2010. Both now have SSD start up drives.

I think I am now getting a little fed up with Apple concentrating on consumer gadgets and not computers. The last Mac Mini was an abomination and the Pro still has a mere 256Gb start up drive. Please Apple do something for us who have a perfectly good screen and do not need a 28" one dominating the desk.

Mike

I have been reading Macrumors forever. This is the first time I felt the need to join and make some comments. I am very much disappointed with Apple products in the last few years. Having been a loyal Apple customer since 1980 and owned almost every product they ever introduced, that journey may be coming to an end. The only product I have not purchased was the watch. In my opinion, poor decision. SO much more could have been done with desktops and laptop PC's and they have pretty much been ignored with more of a focus on glitz than function. I never thought I would be considering a windows laptop, but that seems to be my direction now. Can anyone resurrect Apple from its death spiral?

Hi, I'm a droid just kidding, I been on for a week but this forum helped me fix many problems very fast whether you ask for help or just take a look around there is lots of good info on here. I try to be a regular but I don't know I have too many hobby's. I don't work for anyone, though I do have a number of things going that I utilize to make money..

BigAFan's was paying me, but since "Fanny" lost the election I'm broke. lol

I'm known to try and make people laugh as I have a extraordinary sense of humor. I'm always Laughing about something. A Leave um laughing kind of guy. lol

Hi! I'm new to MacRumours but certainly not new to Apple. I thought I'd give contributing to the community a go, instead of just reading up.

I hope I can make a difference here as well as learn some more from others.

Hello
My name is Pascal i live in France. I use Apple for long time and i like it.
I work in music and use Pro tools and Logic on a Macbookpro 2010 (10.6.8)
Why i didn't made updates ? because i don't wanna pay and pay again for the same tool.
If i upgrade my system i have to change all the staff : softs, sound devices, etc...
But i continue to appreciate Apple.

Hello Everybody!

I would like to buy iPhone 7 Plus and to be sure that my choice is the best I have to be sure. There is nothing better to learn from the people who'd like to discuss about the entire company. I am happy to be here!

Regards everybody!

I wonder why I don't have permission to post on certain threads? Perhaps someone could explain.

Hi everyone! Long time lurker from NY! I just bought a used 2012 15 mac mini on ebay so I thought it would be a good idea to join since its my first mac. I have a iPhone 6s Plus and a iPad mini so I have some experience with ios not MacOS. I thought joining the forum would be great to find answers as a life long PC user up until this point.

Been reading the forum for a long time but keen to get involved in the discussion now, so a membership was in order.

First Apple product was the iMac G3 when I was at college, used MacBooks through uni and now some 10 years later I'm still using Macs!
