How many other Mac users are there here are DU?

[Brigid]

I just got one, and I love it already. Very easy to set up, and no viruses so far. :bounce:

[Pierre.Suave]

1. A Lot.

I am a proud Mac user.

[grace0418]

49. self delete

sorry

[bif]

2. Been on a Mac for at least 15 years

Love it. NEVER had a virus. And OSX is great. Once you go Mac, you'll never go back. Welcome to the club(cult) that is Mac.

[RadiationTherapy]

3. "I'm a Mac; thanks Pierre.Suave!"

[Rob H.]

4. Been using Macs since 1989

Quite happily, too, I might add. :)

[GoneOffShore]

20. You've got me beat.

We've been using Macs only since 1992.

Mac Classic2 was the first - it's now a doorstop.

[Rob H.]

36. I started on a Mac SE

It ran at a blistering 8 MHz, had an 800K floppy drive, 1MB of RAM and a whopping 20MB of hard drive space.

The ones I used in one of my layout classes didn't even have hard drives! They had two floppy drives, instead. One floppy held the OS and some applications, and the other was for your personal files. At least it was easier to copy disks on that one than on a single-floppy-drive Mac--no endless switching disks back and forth!

I still miss those little Macs, sometimes. :)

[GoneOffShore]

52. Great picture

I remember working on a movie where the production office was using an SE30 that they had juiced up with an extra drive - they did all the accounting and call sheets.

I kind of miss my old really slow MacClassic 2 - sometimes.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Mac rules. PC drools.

I've used Macs since 1987, had to call tech support exactly twice.

[Tikki]

6. We're a Mac home....

The Tikkis

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

7. Went to Mac because the alternative was Vista

last time I was upgrading and have never looked back or regretted it.

[3.14158675309]

8. Mac owner here only since 1997

Neophyte I am. Welcome to the club! :hi:

[Deja Q]

9. Me me me! iMac 24" (which use top-end H-IPS display panels, 2.93GHz CPU) and 15" MacBook Pro

(2.66GHz CPU, 4GB, as it was too chancy to open the case and replace the low end macbook pro's RAM due to one overtightened screw and wreck the warranty)

College was a turning point, being so blasted angry at Microsoft's lack of responsibilities being another, and Pierre.Suave helping me with some tips and suggestions...

:yourock:

[ForrestGump]

26. We tried to tell you,

long ago. :P

[Deja Q]

30. Everybody tries to tell lots of people lots of things...

:)

[BlueJazz]

10. Use my PC for Audio My Mac for Graphics. ..But.....PC is easier to upgrade.

[KakistocracyHater]

11. have a 1st g iMac, without the camera built in.

Have you noticed the difference in how long it takes for a Windows machine to start up vs a Mac? I had Webtv & it took long enough for me to brush my teeth & brush my hair before it was fully on. The Mac was a shock, once I signed in-bam, it's up. Toshiba Satellite laptop surprised me, it takes a while to come fully on, too much like the Webtv & it has a bigger processor & more memory than the Mac.

You Mac though runs Windows, so be careful. People can hit your computer, even mine, it's just a little more difficult.

[Rob H.]

38. That's the same generation iMac I have

I got the 20-inch one and still love it. I really love that it's so easy to open the case if I wanted to add more RAM or a bigger hard drive.

[MrScorpio]

12. I've been a Mac User since 1994

Welcome to the family

[Initech]

13. I have a nearly 5 year old Mac laptop that still works perfectly.

Only had to have it serviced once but everything was covered under warranty. Plus I'm posting this from my iPhone too.

[poiuytsister]

14. Hi, I'm a Mac

I have a new desktop and a used laptop that I can sit in bed and use. Guess where I am now?

[cloudbase]

15. One notebook

and one on the desk.

[ROFF]

16. Same here

MacPro and MacBook Pro

[Grey]

17. Lots, Love my iMac,

0S X Leopard. Just the little bitty 20" and 3 years old, but She Rocks.

[NV Whino]

18. Always been a Mac nerd

I currently have a G4 tower and a G4 iBook. Looking to upgrade to a Mac Mini for the desktop very soon.

[Kajsa]

19. Mac household here.

n/t

[realisticphish]

21. Moi

my family's first computer (when I was in middle school) was a Mac Quadra. Been using them ever since :shrug:

funny, too how that happened. Our friend worked at Microcenter, and he happened to get transferred into the mac department shortly before we bought ours. He therefore got a mac discount.

Thank god for the transfer :D

[Dappleganger]

22. Since 2001

Still have the Cube, but have an entire family of Mac users and only one PC user left.

Welcome!

[GCP]

23. Never had a virus

We're very happy with our Macs. Hubby just got the ipod touch as loves it.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

24. Me, a user since 1988 and an owner since 1993

I've had an LC III, a Performa, an iMac SE, a clamshell iBook, a square iBook, and now a MacBook.

[DatManFromNawlins]

25. I will never again willingly purchase a non Unix based computer.

Love my Macbook Pro.

[Moondog]

46. Yep.

One of the best days of my life was switching over about six years ago, and kissing off Windows forever. I won't ever go back. Unix is just so damned stable.

[ForrestGump]

27. Started with one when I began graduate school, in '92.

Have not enjoyed the times when Macs weren't available (though, in academia, that was a distinct rarity). Currently have a titanium Powerbook G4 that is somehow still soldiering on, barely (has hardly ever been turned off in over five years, and that thing gets HOT), and a new 24" iMac that I bought recently to replace it. Actually, in storage I still have a functioning Mac laptop from the mid-90s. My first desktop computer was a Power Computing Mac clone (remember those?) that was state of the art at the time -- a 2GB hard drive!!!! -- and that I left behind when I left the dysfunctional island that was my home base earlier this decade.

Don't have or need the iPhone or iPod or any of the other gadgets that Apple's making money from these days, but when it comes to computers I'm firmly a Macintosh type.

[marzipanni]

28. We three are Mac users

We live near a university wher they upgrade electronic equipment fairly frequently and sell good stuff at the "bargain barn".

[Dinger]

29. Right Here

Always have been a MAC user and always will be.:)

[NewJeffCT]

31. My one experience with a Mac was an epic fail

Not long after the 1 year warranty expired, it died and it would have been $900 to fix. I can buy 2 PCs for the amount it would have cost to fix the iMac.

[RebelOne]

32. I use a Mini Mac at the office, but a PC at home.

I like them both.

[Rising Phoenix]

33. love my mac

had it about two years and not one problem......:bounce:

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

34. since December

and I couldn't be happier. After my last PC debacle I vowed never to buy another, only Macs for me.

[tigereye]

35. here. I really love Macs.

[meegbear]

37. Mac Powerbook with VMWare for Windows XP ...

I go both ways

[Deja Q]

40. Of all the non-bootcamp solutions, Fusion is the best.

IMHO, but many reviews show the same.

A lot of people complained about 'Parallels' and the lack of stability... Fusion just seems more streamlined, more integrated into OS X, more stable, and faster.

[meegbear]

41. I heard mixed about Parallels as well ...

And as an old Windows developer, I know VMWare's got a good product and rep.

[NYCGirl]

39. Mac user since 1987. iPhone user since the beginning. NT

[billyoc]

42. 300 billion.

[Sanity Claws]

43. My first one, just two days ago

I haven't yet figured out Pages. Have you?

[MorningGlow]

44. Me! Me!

Been Mac only since '96. I've had...er...four so far (two right now--one iBoob that's old and slow, and one MacBook which is like an extra appendage). I've been forced to use PCs in the workplace, though.
:puke:

You will continue to love your Mac! Let the PC-ers fight the ongoing virus battle--you will be relaxed and peaceful in the knowledge that you are practically immune! :) It's a beautiful thing.

[bikebloke]

45. I've had an eMac for 4 1/2 years.

Still no problems. All that extra time to do what I want instead of head bashing troubleshooting. And instead of upgrading last winter, I used the money to take a trip.

[Generic Brad]

47. Mac here

Very content with it too, I might add.

[Zoigal]

48. Mac user since shortly after they came on the market.

Wouldn't consider another brand. Congrats on your new purchase, Brigid. z

[grace0418]

50. Me! MacBook Pro bought about 2.5 years ago. LOVE IT!

Can't live without it. Actually, that's kinda true, since I work at home.

Before that I had a G4 tower, but I don't think I'll ever go back now that I have a laptop. It's just perfect.

[Auggie]

51. Mac owner since 1989

and broke since 1989
