Posting from my G5 iMac!

Hell, If I could only find the disc where I can install the x11 stuff so I could install Open office, I wouldn't need my PC!

[ZombieNixon]

1. Posting from my rather old iBook G4

$1799 to a Mac Book Pro. Here's hoping for early May being able to afford it. :bounce:

[styersc]

6. this isn't a MacDonald's thread- is it?

Just in case- Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles onions on a sesame seed bun.

[poiuytsister]

16. Not to be picky but that is a BK Whopper

The Burger King is evil

[qnr]

17. actually, that's the Big Mac, not important, just to avoid confusion

[Poiuyt]

20. I can't believe there was a Wikipedia entry with that title

[qnr]

22. Yeah, I didn't even notice the title until afterwards. I did a Google search

on "big mac jingle"

The fact that there was struck me as funny too.

[MorningGlow]

7. Posting from an iBoob...

Every time I look at my shiny white iMac, I recall the time in the early '90s when I said that a computer should be all-in-one--hard drive, monitor, everything--and how many people laughed at me for that...

[Madrone]

8. w00t!

ALthough I'm posting from my Media Center pc and not my MacBook Pro at the moment... ;)

[Pierre.Suave]

9. Dude, go get Neo Office

http://download.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php

edit: this post courtesy of my Core 2 Duo 15 inch Macbook Pro.

[TheMightyFavog]

13. And this should open.doc files no problem?

End of Line

[Pierre.Suave]

19. yes

it is open office without the hassle of X11

[bicentennial_baby]

10. My week-old MacBook says hello!

[Kutjara]

11. MacBook Pro user here.

Also G4 iBook.

Been a Mac user since 1985. Love me some Macs.

[begin_within]

12. Posting from my 7th Mac, the now-discontinued eMac

which is still great! I have been using it every day for 2.5 years and never once had a system crash. Programs crash once in a while, but that's the fault of the programmer. The system is the most stable I have ever seen.

[Initech]

14. They can have my Powerbook when they pry it from my cold dead fingers!

[City Lights]

[Kutjara]

23. "250 gigs of memory" is enough for anyone.

I don't think there are many supercomputers on the planet with that much. :)

[Poiuyt]

24. I think he meant 250 gigs of storage

But you knew that! :hi:

[Kutjara]

25. The iMac doesn't come with such a big HDD either.

I think he probably meant 250MB of RAM. :hi:

[Grey]

Mac user since 1988

[Rob H.]

26. Posting from my 1st-gen G5 iMac

Happy Mac user since 1989! :)

[Zoigal]

27. Mac user since

the early 80's...posting from our seventh, a sweet little I Mac.


Wouldn't have anything else.

[TommyO]

28. PowerMac dual-core G5 user since 01/06

and I'm never, ever, going back to a Windows PC as my primary machine. The 2.3Ghz dual-core is more powerful than any Windows PC that I had prior to it's purchase, and still performs very well. I know that when I'm ready to replace it, there will be a faster Mac just waiting for me.

[qnr]

29. Ummm... I've run Mac emulators. So technically, I guess I fit in some cobwebby

nook of the Mac users hierarchy.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. MacBook in the house!

:hi:

[DKRC]

32. Just found you - G4 iMac still going strong

:hi:

[emmadoggy]

33. G5 iMac here...

Mmmmmmm....Macs are so yummy.

Graduated to the G5 last year after using a Grape iMac for about 7 years (the Grape one is now the kids' computer).

LOVE my Macs!! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[edbermac]

34. IMAC user here.

After my 6 year old emachine died.

[yewberry]

35. *snort* G3 B&W here.

I hadda put an external hard drive on the old thing to upgrade to OSX.

Beats the heck out of the blueberry iMac I still have stashed in the other room, though.

Before that? A IIci. Yoinks.

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

36. Scrambling to keep an old iBook alive...

   It's one of the old clamshells -- can't go past OS-9 (*mutter*) and, last summer it ate(!) my "Word for Mac" but it's what I've got and (until I can use its built-in Photoshop 6 to build my graphics hobby into a business) all I can afford, so...
   AppleWorks is, at least, serviceable as a Word Processor...

[Auggie]

37. Power Mac G5

[pinniped]

38. Posting from my 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4.

[NV Whino]

39. Posting on a G4 iBook

The G4 tower with 20 inch cinema monitor is in the office. Mac user since, well forever. Started with a 512 KE.

[Squeegee]

40. Checking in!

Posting from my White Intel Core Duo 2 iBook. :bounce:

[Tikki]

41. I LOVE MY MAC......

:-)


Tikki

[spiderpig]

47. Me too.

First and only platform I've ever used at home.

Actually helped me out career-wise when an artist left my employer and no one else was Mac-savvy.

Love my Mac!

[Omphaloskepsis]

42. iMac Core 2 Duo here..

CSSEdit and TextMate rule.

[GoneOffShore]

43. Posting from my G4 Powerbook

[The Spirit Of Radio]

44. I love my ibook G4.

All of the other people in my Multimedia Productions class think Macs suck. It's really annoying. :grr:

[grace0418]

45. Another MacBook Pro user here.

Goddess I love this computer.

[AirmensMom]

46. Posting from my MacBook.

:hi:

[Porcupine]

48. I'm running an ancient G3 266 Mhz.

It's old but it still barely hangs in there. Some screens on DU load mighty weird though.

Any PC this old would be dead meat unless it was running Linux.

[electron_blue]

49. That's why I got a mac - so I could simultaneously do X11 and Office stuff.

With none of the crap I have to put up with on a PC or linux box. I love it so far.

[ralps]

50. Hi JonathanChance, I'm posting from my 15" MacBookPro! I love it!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[Caution]

51. Posting here from my MacBook (Intel) Also have a MacMini (PowerPC)

My wife got me the Mini 2 years ago for my birthday and I havent looked back. Have wanted a Mac since Apple released OS X. I've got a NeXT (slab) in the attic so I was thrilled that they brought NeXTStep back.

[Kajsa]

52. Posting from my son's G3 ibook.

I've also have a G4 desktop.

We're running OS 10.4 on both.

I love Macs!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

53. Mac user since 1988, Mac owner since 1993

I'm on my fourth Mac, a 2004 12" iBook G4. It does everything I need it to do and is easy to carry around. I even put it in a large purse flying back from London last summer after the terrorism scare.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

54. Checking in...

with an i-book G4. :D

[mark0rama]

[Maiden England]

56. iBook G4 here.

It is my first mac. I'll never go back.

[SoCalDemGrrl]

57. Cheers from my Macbook!!! :)

[leftofthedial]

58. PowerBook G4 at the moment

dual G4 downstairs in the basement

G3 in the garage, awaiting rehab. Another PB G4 awaiting a new power cord (how can such a well-designed thing have the worst conceivable design for power supply/cord?)


Other than some music gear, these are the last things of value I have left . . . :sigh:

[Awsi Dooger]

59. Right here and loving it

I'm on an iBook G4, with a dualie desktop a few feet away. Never used anything but a Mac at home. I wear gloves and try not to be too sarcastic when I'm forced to deal with lowly PCs occasionally at work.

Never a problem or concern with my Macs. I could spend all week trying to produce a crash of OS X and never succeed. Predictably, the only application that occasionally quits and has to restart is an inferior Microsoft product, Excel.

[RebelOne]

60. Posting from an eMac.

I use a PC at home and an eMac at my office. I prefer the Mac.

[redwitch]

61. hi!

Macs forever!
