Wisconsin MacRumors Members

[michaelrjohnson]

I am curious as to how many of the current (active*) membership lives in the state of Wisconsin. Perhaps we could just trade email addresses or AIM screenames. It would be nice to be able to talk to local MR members about software or hardware issues, no?

I (obviously) will go first.

My hometown is Racine, WI. But I spend most of my time in Stevens Point attending UW-Stevens Point.

Count me in. I'm over in Wausau. Just to give you a little info on my Mac situation, I've got the following:

G4 PowerBook 17" 1.33GHz
G4 Quicksilver
G4 Cube 450MHz

I own a bunch of Mac games, which I never really play - I just bought them for my trip down to Quakecon last year.

And the majority of the work I do on my PowerBook would be web development with Dreamweaver and Fireworks MX 2004.

Well, that's the technical stuff. How are you guys?

Do you want to be added to the list? I will compile it and make it available, so let me know.

i grew up in lake geneva wisconsin, not there much anymore though

Our student government had our retreat in Lake Geneva...Nice area...Rich people live on lakes, I've discovered. ;)

Oh, and all you folks at UW-Madison. I really like your campus: A lot of interesting-looking buildings and wide open spaces. Madison seems like a nice town, too.

Oh, and the conservative newspaper and my school made fun of yours about 6-8 months back. A lot of people at Madison got their undies in a bunch and sent the paper lots of hate mail. The publication's actually really just a fringe pub that nobody takes TOO seriously. My friend, who's the EIC, is trying to change that, but anyway. Some of you guys took the jokes way too seriously. The paper was the Northwestern Chronicle, if anyone remembers that incident. I thought some of the letters were pretty funny. I especially liked one that said that Northwestern students were making fun of UW-Madison students because we were jealous of how awesome your school is since ours sucked so much. No offense, Madison's a good school, but NU's pretty damn good, too. ;)

[howard]

its nice except for the people living in lake geneva. its a total tourist trap. most people who live there think, whats the big deal? its just a little town with a lake? I suppose you get used to things and take them for granted after awhile though.

[themadchemist]

Yeah, I didn't think it was anything that special. You guys do have a decent facility for medium-sized groups to hold retreats, though. We took this boat tour, though, and they pointed out all of the rich people's homes. I guess it was kind of interesting in that it highlighted my relative poverty. :D

[toezter]

wow, i found this from michealrjonsons sig.

madison, WI here. PC user, soon switching to mac (deciding between the ibook and powerbook).

went to school at MATC, then UW Whitewater, now going back to MATC (bc whitewater is boring, besides the massive drinking).

[kaltsasa]

Oh, and all you folks at UW-Madison. I really like your campus: A lot of interesting-looking buildings and wide open spaces. Madison seems like a nice town, too.

Trust me we don't, but we do have a single street of all bars, 15 or so. Guess that makes up for the inadequate schooling.

[sonofslim]

my roommate's from WI, but he hates on the Mac, even though i've demonstrated many times our obvious superiority. my favorite is to wait until he boots up his laptop, then shut down my computer, start it up again, and repeat two or three times before his ever gets to the desktop.

[kaltsasa]

Mac's are considered a 5th rate user down here in Platteville. Really sad. Luckly my Airport radiates bright sunshine throughout the land. :eek:

I live in Madison right now, attending UW-Madison, and doing Mac IT with the UW Biotech/Genetics departments.

[cavemanclublan]

I couldn't believe the subject of this forum thread when I saw it... it never occured to me that there would be enough of us on this site to make a group out of it... either way, you can add me to the list, and I also wanted to make a plug for www.cavemanclublan.com (http://www.cavemanclublan.com/rumors.html), a LAN party that I run in Eau Claire. I'd not only love to have more gamers, but I'd love it if they were Mac gamers... we run the entire LAN off of Macs, all the game servers, web servers, everything. It's something to see. Anyways, email me if you have any questions or visit the site. Our next event is July 31st, and I'd love to see you all there.

[Daedalus]

Count me in. I'm over in Wausau. Just to give you a little info on my Mac situation, I've got the following:
...



There's only one guy in Wausau with that hardware combo... and if he'd answer his phones once in a while, and quit harassing his techie, maybe he'd have time to play those games.... :)

I'm in Wausau as well... with a 12" Powerbook. More of a linux fan than a Mac fan, but the Powerbook is a beautiful machine, and it's ultraportable... a major plus at work where I'm lugging it around all day. And Fink and X11 give me access to most of the linux programs I'm used to....

[suttio]

Is there room for one more? If so count me in. (Sheboygan) I also had to become a member just to respond.

[coumerelli]

Hey, this is great! I moved to Madison after college about four years ago. LOVE the city and state - tho it's not quite as busy as ST. Louis, where I was born and raised.

I see a lot from Madison - Don't we have a mac users group here? Anyone been to it? I might be wrong - and if I am, we should get one going. Eh? :)

[Edit: Hey eric, I know some folks up there in Neenah! Wonder if you know anyone by the last name of Huff?]

[Bu88a]

i agree we should get one going...

i'm going to be moving back to madison (for good) once i find a job (right now i'm here looking...).

i've been there for four years at UW, went away for about six months, and just have to come back. there is NOTHING better than spending these summer evenings on the terrace with a pitcher of woodchuck playing cards with friends...

[michaelrjohnson]

-----------------------------

WHEW! Okay, everyone above this line has been added. Sorry for the delay, I had to go to Mayfair Mall and buy an iPod last night, so I was kind of busy! ;)

I am very excited to see so many of us! Very impressive.

For the newbies, welcome to MR (posting, as I suspect many of you have been lurking for awhile).

Finally, If any of the info about you is incorrect, dont hesitate to let me know!

[michaelrjohnson]

Here's one more Madisonian. I grew up in Oconomowoc, but currently attend the UW pursuing a genetics degree.

Per-chance I received an email from another MacRumors member who said he was moving to Madison for post-doctorate work. Has jbembe posted here?

Are you going there for Undergrad or Post-Grad? My girlfriend is attending UWSP with intentions on going to Madision for her graduate degree. She wants to be a Genetics counselor. Its a small world. :)

(I added jbembe to the list, are they also a Madisonian?)

[Koodauw]

i there is NOTHING better than spending these summer evenings on the terrace with a pitcher of woodchuck playing cards with friends...

Ah yes the terrace. I was there this evening. Nothing like watching the sun set over the lake, with beer in hand.

Yeah, we (my girlfriend and I) are also entering our Junior year. Interesting. I'm sure she'd love some feedback about the program.

I'll be attending UW-Stout in the fall. So I guess that would put me in the category... right? :p

[RobertHammen]

Yep, I've been reading MacRumors for a couple of years, but finally registered when I saw this thread. I'm an old-timer, having used a Mac since my Lisa (still have it!) in 1984 and helped found the Mad Mac User Group while going to school at UW-Madison. I've been making a living working on the Mac for 17 years, and have spent the last 11 years managing the mostly-all-Mac network for a moderate-sized commercial printing company in the Milwaukee area (I presently live in Waukesha).

I originally hail from near Sheboygan, went to school at UW-Eau Claire as well as Madison, and have also lived in the Chicago metro area and the Twin Cities, before relocating back here to the Milwaukee area 11 years ago (!).

I presently use a 17" PowerBook (first-gen) personally, and a new 1.5 GHz 17" at work (in addition to a cr*ppy Dell Latitude D800, which the 17 just kills, but that's a different story).

See you guys around (did I mention my license plates are "MAC WIZ" and one of my co-workers has "MAC OS X"?)

[kanker]

Hey, I was born in Wausau, but I've lived in Indianapolis most of my life. I am going up there on Saturday though, going to move my grandparents to Minocqua.

BTW, I have never and will never consider myself a Hoosier, in spite of my long absence from the homeland.

I *know* we haven't reached the saturation point, so far there are 32 WI MR Members on "the list". As more and more lurkers register to post, I know we'll find more.

I just wanted to thank everybody for posting, and officially welcome the new members to the MR "family"!

[Kingsnapped]

I live in Germantown now, but next year ill be going to UW-Milwaukee. probably going to end up living there.

Germantown represent! I've been down there at least twice a month to help my grandmother out with the new eMac. Unfortunately, when I'm there, I don't get out much. The only person I know that's our age goes by the name of Shrea. Ring a bell?

[atszyman]

Don't know if I qualify.

Spent the first 18 years of my life growing up in the Villiage of Marthon City (official title), a small town about 12 miles west of Wausau (you can classify me as Wausau if you deem me worthy). Spent ~4 years in the UP for college with an 8 month break in MN for a Co-op job. Now I live in the Dallas, TX area. My wife won't let us move back (her family is down here) but I do visit 2-4 times a year and the only Mac I currently own makes it's home there (a 5+ year old Radius 81/110 clone). Soon I will be receiving my 15" PowerBook and 4G iPod to get myself more up to date and back on Mac.

Forever a Packer fan and I actually own a cheesehead.

[kingjr3]

Im more of an import. Grew up in MN, went to school in IL, and ended up working in the Milwaukee area. Keep me informed too MRJ.

[Daedalus]

Don't know if I qualify.

Ok... I've gotta ask... when did you graduate from high school? I grew up, mostly, in Marathon City... graduated from HS in '89...

Small world, geesh....

[atszyman]

Graduated HS in '95. You would have graduated with 2 of my first cousins. My brother was 2 years behind you.

[Daedalus]

Graduated HS in '95. You would have graduated with 2 of my first cousins. My brother was 2 years behind you.

And you would have been just a year or two behind my younger brother Jon, and a couple/few years ahead of my youngest brother Jim...

Heh.

Man, now I'm gettin' nostalgic for the old days... :p

Count me in. I am in Milwaukee going to school at MCW. I just got my first Apple 3 weeks ago after spending about 4 months reading MacRumors. I love it! Take care all.

[zaphoyd]

Another for Germantown (Milwaukee suburb)

I will be leaving for school in Chicago in September.

[Anticipat3]

Wow, it is a small world...

When I was in High School (98-02) I worked out at the Pool (MASA) in Marathon. It's one thing to see Wausau folk here, but much more surprising to see folks from Marathon here!

Sadly, we probably all know each other, at least indirectly... heh.

I wouldn't call it sad, it's just another shred of proof for how rediculously small this world can be! ;)

Are you in the graduate school at MCW or the medical school? I worked in Dr. Jacob's genetics lab last summer on the fifth floor of the new building.

[shadowghost]

lifetime Madisonian (so far), lifetime Mac user (since 1985). been only to one Mad Mac meeting. graduated UW-Mad(ness) with a BS in Art. yes i do remember the days when The Onion was a local rag and Paul Soglin wasn't all puffy. hello all.

[G5support.com]

Count me in! I'm up in good ol' Oshkoh B'Gosh! :)

Any G5 owners here? You're welcome to come join us even if you're not -- yet! G5 iMacs and PowerBooks are coming! :)

[mulletman13]

Another WI member here....

Originally from Texas, then moved to Chicago for 8 years, and I've been living here in New Berlin (suburb of Milwaukee) for the past 8 years. Next year I'm attending UWMilwaukee and am stayin in Sandburg halls (West Tower). Kindof odd to see so many people from Wisconsin in here.... small world I suppose. I also got a mac friend who lives here, but doesnt post on these forums, I believe he's doing tech support @ UWMadison next year.

Again, welcome all WI MR Members! I just wanted to let you know that I hope to keep this list active as long as possible.

[Obius]

Merrill, add that to your list.

[michaelrjohnson]

Done, aaaaand done. ;) :)

[Peter9]

Im in green bay right now, but will be moving to school in milwaukee at the end of this month

[pimentoLoaf]

I'm a "damned :eek: suburbanite" -- as Henry Meier, waaaay too long mayor of Milwaukee -- once called people who didn't bother to live in the BigCity.

Which one? Let's just say the North Shore region, and be done with it. :cool:

[TSEliotLives]

Originally from Milwaukee, going to college in Ripon, which is really closest to Oshkosh.

[iYooper]

Count me in. I'm from Ironwood, MI, but who cares. Most people who live in WI think the U.P. is a part of Wisconsin anyhow. Just across the river from Hurley on beautiful US 51.
No Apple Store within 250 miles from us, no shopping at all to speak of. The end of the earth.

[mlw1235]

Add me into this also, I'm from Beloit (hold up your right hand with your thumb out, and go to your wrist, right in the middle :D :D )

I knew I saw this thread, then kinda forgot about it.....imagine that....me forget!! ;)

[Brettla]

I live in Monona which is land-locked by Madison and work for an exclusively Mac based printing company.

[150hp]

Alright, I currently reside in Sturgeon Bay, moving up from Green Bay & born in Sheboygan so a life long Wisconsinite not counting those 8 days I lived in Texas (yes lived, got new driver's license, blah blah blah)

So, hello from beautiful Door County.

[jbembe]

Hey, thanks for the welcome!

So I miss Texas, but I'm starting to get more familiar with Madison now. :D We didn't get here until August so we've been busy getting settled in.

Went to the Mac store on Michigan ave last weekend to satiate my fanatacism of macs and see the new G5 iMac. Back in Texas there were two stores close-by - sigh. Chicago's very nice!

I'd love to find an iPod D.J. club in Madison. Anybody know of such a thing?

Josh

p.s. Not so much looking forward to winter, but have really enjoyed the terrace and the mild end of summer.

Ever heard of Ojeda's on Maple? We once went there weekly. Still looking for good stuff here in Madison!!

You know it well, the quiant little Johnson Wax town... with the school district currently ripping the schools budgets apart.

Fun times to be had for all. :cool:

Actually Toppa Gs saw my post here and invited me to join SMUG, the Stout Mac User Group, of which he is president. Of course I went and joined.

That's actually pretty awesome. What kinds of things do you all cover at your SMUG meetings?

(longshot) Anyone know Drew H. there at Stout? He's from Racine as well, and I haven't gotten in touch with him since high school!

[Muskie]

We mostly just talk about anything new in the Mac world. Last meeting was about Tiger obviously. We talk about anything else as well, cause there isn't always something major going on with Apple. Besides, there are only like 5 members, most of which don't show up every single week. Its good stuff though.

[michaelrjohnson]

Muskie-

Are you in the Graphic Design program at Stout?

[Muskie]

Muskie-

Are you in the Graphic Design program at Stout?


I am indeed, why do you ask?

[michaelrjohnson]

I am indeed, why do you ask?

I am also a Graphic Design major. When I was applying for undergrad schools, Stout was one of my top 2 choices. Though, the year that I would have been an incoming freshman, was the first year of the "Laptop Learning Initiative" and they weren't able to give me a solid number for tuition and fees before the deadline for registration. Even though I had been accepted into the program, I felt that UW-Stevens Point had a lot more to offer for me.

I feel I've made the right choice. But how is the program there for you?

[Muskie]

I feel I've made the right choice. But how is the program there for you?


Well, I'm only a freshman, so I haven't taken any GD classes yet, still in Design, Drawing, Art History, you know, the basic stuff. I must say that I do thoroughly enjoy it here though. And I plan on graduating from Stout. It's too bad you didn't get in on the laptop program. I've got my desktop here too, but having a laptop is great. And for the people without desktops I'm sure these things make life a ton easier.

[michaelrjohnson]

It's too bad you didn't get in on the laptop program.

It's not that I didn't *get* to, it's that I didn't *want* to. It's significantly more expensive than UWSP. Cost was a major concern for me, and I simply couldn't afford that much more.

(Of course, I have feelings about the quality of the programs, but it's not the point) ;)

I wish you good luck in the program. UWSP's program is structured very similarly, so I know exactly what you're going through!

[fugeelama]

Just to keep things updated (even thought I post more on the Scionlife (http://www.scionlife.com) site than on here): I'm moving to Bayview! I'll be living down the street from Hifi Cafe as of May 1st. Does this make me part of the Milwaukee clique now? lol

Yea, the cost is kinda stupid. It's required, but we have to pay $500 more a semester... kinda lame. Oh well.

Thanks, and good luck to you as well.

[pimentoLoaf]

Any of you attend the Tiger event at Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa, a suburb of Milwaukee?

[Greencardman]

Wow, this is wierd, finding people from Merrill and Marathon of all places. Too freaky. Anyways, grew up in Wausau (DCE) then to Mequon, and now at school in Madison. Ha, and I worked at Marathon Cheese, 3rd and 1st shift. How's that for classic.

[Greencardman]

Ok, its May 1st, and its snowing in Madison, WI. Thats wrong. Sick and wrong!

While this thread is up again, I would like to promote myself from honorary citizen to full citizen. I'm from Beloit (it's at the Southern edge).

And just wondering, are there any past delegates of Badger Boys State from you all? Just got back from it this past week and I had a blast.

[stubeeef]

Greetings gang, I am visiting the Cheese state while our jet is in maintenance at Gulfstream in lovely Appleton. Nice weather today, but I do miss home (NC).

Everyone has been added, I believe.

This most recent bit brings WI MR Members to a total of 54! That's about 0.01% of the total MR Membership (active and inactive), way to represent! :o

As soon as Doctor Q comes out with the new membership stats, I'll post to show what percentage we are of the *active* membership.

Thanks for playing!

[Xero]

Well, i dont know how "Active" ive been of late on MR, but you can definitely count me in!

Grew up in Wausau for 10 years (West Hi), came from inner city minneapolis before that (yeah, HUGE change), now ive been in Madison for 2 years, and will hopefully be out of here by spring semester heading for art/photo school, most likely back in the twin cities.

Cheers to all!

I'm excited to see that you found this thread so quickly after registering (just one day!)! Thanks for stopping by, and I'll get to work on adding you to the index.

Be sure to check out the list of local MR members to see if you can find a MUG that they are involved in. Madison has a large user base.

I'm nearly a life-long resident of Waukesha. I've got 4 years in Madison for undergrad, and would love to go back at some point. My parents are from Cudahy and my in-laws are Fox Valley people (currently in Green Bay). Not many areas in the State I haven't been to.

I live in Wauwatosa and except for a Commodore 64 in the early 80's have a nice collection of Macs and a couple of Apple II's.

[Toppa G's]

I'm afraid I'll have to get the little asterisk after my name :( - I graduated in December and moved west to Chaska, MN. I suspect that I may eventually move back to Wisconsin, but should be in Minnesota for at least the next three years.
