I'm now a Mac user

Congrats on the new laptop! MacRumors is the largest serious Mac using community on the web. I know SpyMac is technically larger, but it doesn't count as a serious Mac community now does it? No offense to SpyMac die-hards of course.

 

Welcome!

Congratulations! And if you ever have a question about your computer you can always bring it to macrumors and i'm sure there will be people just ready to answer your questions.

Koree

 

Yay. you saw the light! I just ordered a 15" powerbook too!

 

Sweet!

That's awesome!

I remember my Trash-80. I had a III and a IV, if I remember correctly. Ahh... ProDOS 1.0. Fantastic.

Congrats on the new Mac!

congratulations.

you will find macrumors a great community, you have kids here who are still in high school or middle school who know a whole lot about their macs and programing, you got your poor college students strugglying to get by, then you got your young and not so young proffesionals, and some unemployed ones. everyone here is generally friendly, and pretty knowledgeable, you may find yourself with a ton of questions in the begining, but before you know it you will be answering questions for the next switcher.

 

Congratulations!

We're here to help.

I have used macs for all my computing life... from an Apple IIe in elementary school to my first Mac of my own: an SE 30 I worked two summers to get. You will like it. If not, let us know...

We have ways to... motivate you.

 

Congrats on your new PB.
Also having switched recently, my PB charms me everytime I sit behind it!

Enjoy!

 

The 15" PB is one of the best laptops around, congrats.

 

Congratulations! I'm also a new switcher of a 15" powerbook! Let's explore the interesting stuff of Mac OSX!

 

congrats!

I've had mine for two days and I absolutely love it! Jumped from a win98se box, and I'm glad I did, and never had to do the xp upgrade. I concur with everyone who gave props to MacRumors, I've been reading it for months and when it came time for the purchase I felt very comfortable with what I was getting.

15"pb, 256 ram, 60gb hd - runs awesome, and i can't wait until i add a 512 stick

 

Awesome, i just got my 15" Powerbook last week. I wouldn't consider myself a switcher really, because I still use both platforms frequently, but I am used to both and I am really enjoying Panther.

I actually started my computer experience on a mac, building slide shows and stuff in HyperCard and HyperStudio. It was quite fun, this was back in grade 4 though. I have been using pc ever since and win95/98/98se have not been great. My windows experience has been much better with 2000 and even better with XP.

As for OSX I had used it quite a few times in my printing class doing pre press work and stuff. It was nice but I was never a big fan. I ended up getting a powerbook for school, going to study graphic Design in Toronto, and the program is all mac based so it made sense. I can say that I really like my "new" experience in osx much more now since I have been able to set up things the way i want them.

I <3 expose.
