Thanks to the MR team for sticking with it all these years. It's really the "go to" site for Mac news (and rumors).
One more thing... only 22 negs for this article. Reacting to all the Pad news must have exausted the Winboys out.

Thank you so much Arn for making this site and all the work in keeping it up. You're a daily part of our lives!
Congrats and thanks for all the money you've helped me save and decisions you've helped me make! Here's to 10 more!

Having been a lurker since December '03, and a member since March '04, I have thus witnessed more than half of that decade... And what can I say? It's been a fun 6 years!
I started out by documenting my switch from PCs and Sony consumer devices to all-Apple gear, and proceeded to share with you an embryonic Mighty/Magic Mouse concept of mine which I sent to Apple... Those were the days (when I posted huge diatribes about whatever I came across )!
The only thing I deeply regret, being the premonitory optimist I am (seriously, as pedantic as this may sound, I have as good an "Apple predictions" track record with my friends and acquaintances as Gruber's with the whole blogosphere), is not having bought myself loads of AAPL shares when they were still dirt-cheap.
Anyway, in all fairness, I think I partly owe you all (and, of course, Apple) my new job as my Faculty's Mac Room monitor. I always felt I was a bit of a dislocated geek even amongst Mac users (let alone PC owners), but as I'm finally profiting from that I suppose my time was well-spent lurking here after all (I think it would have been anyway, but since it took me so many years to finish my course I was starting to have second thoughts about that).
So here's to another 10 years of sharing, gossip and speculation!

Congrats! This is one of my favourite forums to browse, and is the best site for finding about Apple news. Hopefully it's up for at least another 10 years! I got my first Mac towards the end of the year in 2006 I think, December or November, it must have been 2006 as I signed up in 2007. Three years of using Mac's, and I don't regret it at all.
