what has changed in your life since joining macrumors?

[count chocula]

i realized that a good number of us (not me) have been posting on this forum for a long time. so what has changed in your life sice joining? it doesnt, and probably shouldnt be related to macrumors.

for me:
1. i've broken and succesfully healed my first bone (ankle).
2. I've made my first major purchase in my short life (macbook).\

unfortunately, i dont have much else to add, i havent been on this forum for very long

Let's see... graduated college, got my first job, lost that job, then got a new and better job.

Became an uncle, and soon to be a father. Watched my parents divorce after 35 years.

Moved a couple times, killed my college car and replaced it with a pickup. Got a dog, lost our cat.

Got my kitchen equipment fix (mostly) taken care of. Bought the beginnings of a shop for my garage....

God, how long have I been here now?

I've successfully rehabilitated a reconstructed ACL in my right knee. I've torn the ACL in my left knee, and am just starting rehabilitation. Those would be the most major things.

[Doctor Q]

I was born, raised, educated, married, and became a father, all since joining MacRumors. OK, I guess it just feels like I've been a member forever.

Actually, now that I check the calendar, it seems I was already a parent before I got this MacRumors hobby. That means that the biggest change since I joined, other than working my way up from Newbie to Administrator, is that I changed from someone who dreamed of going to Japan someday into someone who dreams of going back to Japan someday.

I've purchased 3 iPods (3G, Mini, 4G Photo) and sold 2

I bought my first Mac
