New to the Mac World....

[Rod76]

I'm a recent convert from the PC world and I'm writing this more to applaud the Mac community in General... Through the years I've seen and posted on many forums and not thought too much about it. I've only been surfing Mac forums for a month and I'm completely amazed at the level of articulation and intelligence that I find myself surrounded by... In all my years on forums and the like I've never caught myself going to a dictionary for any reason, but here in the last month have made more than one trip... LOL The old parent cliché that you are who you hang around seems to be smiling at me... This on top of a generally positive feeling of community... I come from the Military and there are many but only one U.S. Marine Corps and we are very tightly connected (like a family) even after you get out... I have those same feelings within the Mac community... I've found my home, thank you......
PROUD new Mac User....:D

Hi, Rod! What kind of machine did you get?

[macubergeek]

Hi Rod
welcome aboard!
Yes you'll find us a congenial bunch. I've found mac users to be pretty diverse. I myself am a firewall admin...usually working with Solaris unix but really like X. I'm sure you'll like it too. Remember with 'nix you can learn it in small sips from the well....ask us anything and we'll do our best to help.

Thanks Guys...

I got one of the new Dual 1GHZ G4's.... All I need now is the Cinema Display.... (closes eyes and dreams)...

Dual 1G is a kind of dream for me, but dream on some more. You're definitely on the "right track." Welcome to Mac!

welcome to a very diverse community! IN general and for the most part it is as you've found it, people very willing to help you with problems (if they know the answer) and also willing to roll up their sleeves to help track down an answer.

hail fellow convert ;) they got me about a year ago, and havn't looked back since! got stuck with a Celeron on my desk for a week and a half while my brand new iMac got it's logic board replaced, and lemme tell ya, X is a much missed sight to behold! :D Yell if you have any Q's... someone'll know the answer!
