Hi i signed up just to post this. Myself mainly and my family have been loyal to apple devices for many many years but are sick of being boxed in restricted at every turn. So every device future purchase to upgrade will be to android sorry apple but you have dropped the ball you were fantastic at the very start but now andriod is climbing all over and above everything you do sad but true. FarewellThis will be a bit of a test... Another of these threads started with good intentions... but was soon taken over by regulars.
if you just joined MacRumors, reply and introduce yourself.

Well Hi everyone - oldie here - having spent 30 years working & programming in Windows (well VBA in MS Office really) I decided to find out what Mac was all about. Mixed feelings as you would expect from a Newbie (but learning that if expect it on the right look left etc) Struggling with Office for Mac MS has really not supported it's Mac offering at all (shame on you Microsoft). Loving everything I try to do which is creative, Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator - frustrated any time I try to do financials - Accounts, Excel....
Looking forward to learning and finding answers plus things I never knew I needed here!

Depending on your device and browser, you can sometimes enable 3rd party plugins to do such things. Firefox is good for this, and I tend to browse in dark mode using that when at night. That is on an Android device though.
You can also enable (on iOS) intelligent Invert Colors on iOS, which will make your screen mostly black. Much easier on the eyes for sure!
Hi. I've had a MacBook Air since 2013. Just looking to find ways to improve overall performance.
Welcome to Macrumors.
Please post your query in the proper forums, this thread is to introduce yourself not for technical support or recommendations.
Hello everyone and thanks for the insights I have got from this website and its incredible community!
Proud owner of iMac (late 2009, with a brand new arriving in the next few days), iPhone 7Plus and Apple Watch series 2.

hello everyone.. been following macrumors for as long as I can remember.. over 10-12 years at least. I don't post much, anywhere as Im not an expert, so never felt like signing up, but seen some people I could help with the confirmed information I have learned from this community over the years..
Newbie user here. Registered to respond to a thread about setting the Move goal on Apple Watch. Have benefited from MacRumors in the past and am happy to finally join in.

Since this thread was created in 2001, I fell compelled to introduce myself. I've been a Windows and Android guy forever but decided to thread myself to a Black Friday MacBook Pro. I'm really enjoying learning iOS just for a change and won't get into any Windows/Mac flame war as each has a purpose depending on one's needs. Now I just have to read through years of posts to catch up!
Hello guys!
I've been lurking around this forum for years but I never officially introduced myself.
I'm a 26 year old guy from Egypt and I've recently moved to Liverpool in order to study for a Master's Degree in Mass Communication with a focus on Digital Media.
I consider myself a tech enthusiast which is why I always find my way back here even after a long absence. I am a fan of Apple products, especially Macintosh computers. I bought my first MacBook back in 2008 and I've been hooked ever since. I've noticed that there has been a gradual decline in innovation when it comes to MacBooks lately which is why I'm sticking to my 2015 MBP and not interested in upgrading any time soon. In fact, I only upgraded from my 2010 MBP because its hard drive was dying, optical drive stopped working, and it needed a RAM upgrade so I thought buying a new MacBook altogether made more sense.
I must say that I've learned so much about the world of Macs just by lurking around the forum and by constantly asking questions and receiving great and informative answers, so I'm thankful for that.
Keep up the good work guys!

Hi everyone,
Been a fan of MacRumors for a while, but never dived into the forums.
I'm 39 work as a Solutions Architect in Australia mainly dealing with Windows environments.
My current daily drivers are: -
- MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012);
- iPad Pro; and
- iPhone 8 Plus.
I'm also Apple certified (Apple Certified Support Professional 10.11).
An Apple fan from an early age (see photo below).
Looking forward to getting round the forum.
