Hello, my name is Stephan, and I'm a macoholic.:lmao:


I am a 19 year old male.....from a petite town called Uxbridge Ontario, although I am currently visiting my parents in Germany.

I own a 1.83ghz 13.3" macbook. 60gb, 1gb RAM (upgrade separately:D )

The story of why I got my macbook last summer..started when I was looking for a laptop for college. And just out of curiosity wandered onto apple.ca. The more I read about apple...the more I fell in love with it.

And now, have been a mac user for 10 months now, and lovin' every minute of it.


Just wanted to say hey..because you're going to be seeing/hearing/reading a lot of me in the future. ;)

Hey all, I'm J. I've been lurking here for a while, so I thought I'd finally post something. I'm a male from Toronto, currently taking an MBA part time. By day, I work in Marketing for a fairly large company in the beverage alcohol industry.

I've been using Macs for about 17 years now, so I guess I'm an old pro. My mother used to bring her Mac Classic home from work, and I'd end up doing more with it that she ever thought possible. Eventually got my own, and have been a Mac user ever since.

I currently use a 1Ghz eMac (now a public workstation) and a recently purchased 2.2Ghz 15" MBP. The laptop is my 5th Mac.

My top 3 favourite apps of the moment are:
- MenuMeters
- Sidenote
- Overflow

Hey everyone

Hi folks,

I'm Chris, from Gatineau, Quebec. I'm a telephony and networking consultant by trade but dabble in just about anything. I've been working with Macs since the mid to late 80s, first for desktop publishing. Later on I got my hands on a G4 through work. But I finally decided to buy my very own iMac two months ago, and haven't regretted it for a second.

I've always liked iTunes, but I find just about every app that ships in the box is at least competent if not great. Anxious for my iLife 08 and iWork 08 to get here, I've been playing with the iWork demo and it's fantastic. Have to say, I'm a little disappointed in iChat since I really like using voice conferencing with Google Talk. Hope they address that in Leopard.

I've rambled on long enough, nice to meet you all.

Made the switch...

Hey everyone,

Just ordered my new mac mini (2.0ghz with 2gb ram) from apple.ca... I've been debating making the move for a long time now, but haven't had the spare funds laying around until now.

I've got limited experience in using a mac, so please dont get annoyed with the heaps of questions to come once my new mini arrives in the mail :cool:
