Never used a mac before. Don't know anything about them, except from what I've read on forums here or there. Been thinking of getting one for sometime now. I might get the mac mini or a macbook, not sure yet.

Been using Apple all of my life; dad is an architect and my mom is a graphic designer so I grew up around them.

Right now I have a 12" PowerBook, 1.5 ghz with a SuperDrive. Probably be getting a 20" Intel iMac in the next 6 mos.

Awesome!!!
I'm so lucky I grew up with Macs too.

For 2 1/2 years have been using an iBook G4.

I use to known as the computer killer in my family on windows based computers, so I made the switch and this one is still going strong.

Guess there are not too many of us on here?

I got mine March 2005 for Easter and love it!

I have beat up Powerbook G4 thats still ticking, but I'm not using it at the moment. I would love to get a new MacBook, but it will have to wait for now.

The class I'm taking puts me in front of one of the new dual Xeon Mac Pros. It's fast, and the application I'm running (Maya) is being run in Rosetta.

I hate the Mighty Mouse though. It was a noble idea, but horrible in execution. It is second place only to those "puck mice" on my black list of input devices. This is of course, not counting any pointing device from the early 90s that no longer works.

Got a MacBook, and my wife has my old PowerBook G4.
Love 'em both. Especially my MacBook. Only thing I miss is a graphics card of significance as I do love NeverWinter Nights 2, and would like to be able to play it on my Windows installation on my MacBook... Oh well. Since that is not a possibility I use Paralells and Windows as most of my work needs Windows applications and Crossover works.... Poorly for a lot of them.

I got one of the 20" Intel iMacs. I love it. Have yet to have a slow down in 10 months. Love it... can't go back!

I am a NeoOffice user... I love it, much faster that OpenOffice and a tad bit cheaper than Office ... plus, it's got database software...

askbros · Feb 3, 2007

BTW, on the Mighty Mouse, I agree it isn't as good as some of their other products... but it's better than one button...

I think it's better to go and just find a third-party USB mouse that you like...

My Macs are in my CF profile. I switched in 2004 and have NEVER looked back!

Smart move.

I've got two Macs here at home; one is an iMac that I got for free, and the other is my Dell running OS X.

I'll never buy a Mac product.

JeffreyLloyd · Feb 7, 2007

How is your Dell running OSX?

There are multiple cracked versions of Mac OS X out there. They are usually not too stable though.

Yeah.

It runs perfectly fine, though. I haven't had any stability issues

I just won a bid for a Mac Book Pro 15", only a few weeks old on Ebay. I am kinda excited about getting it; I am sure all of you know that feeling. Anyhow, any tips for new Mac Users? I am a Computer Science major, have been into WinPC for a long time. Usually build my own (except laptop), so figured I would try out a macbook pro. My current laptop isn't that old, but its a bulky 17" that weighs about 10 lbs (Toshiba).
Ok, that's all for now.

California Dreamin' · Feb 18, 2007

That sounds great. I would love a MacBook.

Spend some time in the Control Panel (I forget what it's called on a Mac!) and most of what you will tinker with in there. Lots of fun! If you do any programming, which I don't, you can do lots of cool stuff from the Unix prompt.
