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.

I used to feel that way.

Then I came here.
Burn on you guys! Woo!

Glad you're here!

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.

Hi jeremywais,

Nice to have you on our team.

Mac users are a bunch of talented people. Have fun.

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

Enjoy!

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

jeremywais · Apr 29, 2008, 06:53 AM

Thanks for your replys !!

I'm very often criticized by PC users

Does it often happen to you ? And what do you answer ??

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.

My beard grows out to noticeable stubble by noon. I have no choice.

I was born to be a Mac user.

I thought you were born conservative?

Jawbone54 · Apr 29, 2008, 01:53 PM

So was Rush Limbaugh.
Okay, bad example.

Dakar the Fourth · Apr 29, 2008, 01:54 PM

Oh yeah, the classic Mac user stereo-type. My mistake.

Mac User #001 · Apr 29, 2008, 02:06 PM

I'm trying to find some sort of humorous way of welcoming you. but I've got nothing.

Just don't listen to zro.

This is a good place to be.

Except for the Photo Critique thread. Stay away.

Far away.

MacosNerd · Apr 29, 2008, 02:54 PM

That thread needs to be retitled. - - e r i k - - is still valiantly making a stand in there though. Gotta show props for that.

Dakar the Fourth · Apr 29, 2008, 02:55 PM

What happened?

Flooded with pictures, and when anyone tries to make a valid critique they get slammed down and insulted. So, now it's a "Post a ton of bad pictures, and only say nice things about them" thread.

Dakar the Fourth · Apr 29, 2008, 03:00 PM

Oh.

Well at least you guys are good for the first half of the equation.
Zing!
