Hi everybody !

I bought a new MacBook (the black one ) a few weeks ago and I'm surprised to feel like I'm part of an Apple community !! But I don't how to explain this !

So I was wondering if I was the only one to feel this way...

You are part of a community now, welcome! You have just purchased one of the best products on terms of quality and something fun to use. If you have any questions, just ask! Also, you may want to start saving up for your next Mac. I started years ago and now I own more Apple products than I care to count.

View my highpointing adventures!

Check and see if there's a local Macintosh Users' Group in your area. You get meet up, trade software (sometimes...), get cool discounts, free troubleshooting, etc. Talk about Apple stuff.

jeremywais, with the Apple community you get classic banter like this.

Become aloof and dismissive when people talk about their computer viruses. Perfect the Apple-smirk.

Just snort out loud, throw your head back and walk away with gusto shaking your head like you've heard something funny.

Just agree with everything they say in a very slightly sarcastic tone. DON'T OVERDO the sarcsam. It'll really throw them for a loop.

Also, don't limit use of the smirk to computer viruses. Put an apple sticker on your car. Pay $20 for a cup of coffee and wear a perpetual two-day stubble.
