Hey guys,

I as I was trying to figure out when the iTMS store was gonna opening I happened across this wonderful site full of canadians. I think it rocks. I met a few of you in the itmscanada chat room they day that it the store opened (LongDongDiller is my screen name). It was such an emotional rush when someone finally piped up "hey im in".
Little bit 'bout me:
I'm 23, a mech eng student at university of Ottawa (2nd degree, why oh why do i do this to myself) Home town Newmarket ON (technically sharon but its too small for anyone to know) music i like... i like the beats, gino beats you could call em. But i have a very wide selection of music that i listen to from classical to classic rock to punk (I'm very eclectic)

Anyways I hope to have some fun on these forums and all, and chat ya later.

welcome aboard!

Welcome to ehMac! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ya, that was fun! We all freaked on the guy for pulling out that lame "I'm in" joke, so over done. But he was in. Did anyone apologize to him?! Probably not. [img]graemlins/lmao.gif[/img]

Welcome to ehMac!

Hey Pakmn! Welcome to ehMac! Glad your here! (Tell your friends to come too!)

That was a fun ride getting into the iTMS early. Kind of like being in line for an Apple Store opening and someone letting you in the back door to have a look around before the rush! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for joining!

Hey, this makes me think: did anyone save that chat file? I'd like to go look over that "moment" again just to see how stupid it got! Things moved pretty fast.

i use adium and it automatically saves all convos so here is the famous line all time EST

Nice to see you again!

Enjoy and stay a while!

Welcome aboard pakmn.
Although Sharon is small, it sure is a pretty town. Haven't been there for a few years. The Sharon temple is a pretty famous place ... My ancestors on my mother's side settled in that area many, many years ago.

Welcome

Sharon isn't so insignificant, at least not to me!
I knew it as a kid, and now I live in Richmond Hill, not too far away.
