Hi. Another refugee from the same place as Damian. I'm Heather, and I've been a Mac user longer than I can remember. I'm a freelance designer and artworker, specialising in absolutely everything. I'm currently rediscovering a passion for photography.
I'm happy to report I've met ForumCat a couple of times now. =o)

I too have jumped ship from the place formerly frequented by CC, Heather, Damien & Louise. I have, however, taken the opportunity to re-name myself with an anagram I discovered using the wonderful Internet Anagram Server. I'm not sure what reality is, but I think that my real name is Tim. I am a Baptist minister in inner city Manchester, but in my spare time I chair our local hospital. Oh yes, and I also run the local credit union. I can bore for England on any/ all of the topics above but will spare the forum. If you want to know about credit unions feel free to PM me.

One feature this forum has is the ability to change your username. I hope that people don't do it too often as it will confuse the hell out of me but for those who want to the feature is there. I was CC when I arrived but have now devolved to just being the forum cat.

Hi, I too hail from t’other place. I’m glad to see that my changing Avatar can come along too :-)
I’m Paul, and I’ve been using Macs for probably 10-15 years now. Previously, I was very much in the Acorn camp, and some of my post may well reflect that. I’m a freeance web designer - though I much prefer the graphic design side to the mucking about with PHP side....

Lo childs,
Been registered here for a short while, just put the finishing touches to my profile (though it's liable to change), but why's my avatar not showing up? (8+(

Afternoon all, I'm Ben, from t'other forums too, invited to this place by the forum cat I'm a student at the Aberystwyth university studying computer science, current;y on my industrial year down in Surrey with sun Microsystems, helping to look after the Global Labs which Sun use for testing systems both newer than new, and older than old... I've been a Mac owner for about two and a half years with my faithful MacBook. Before I owned my Mc, I did a lot of work in our sound studio at school playing with some older Performa machines running System 8/9, and some of the original iMacs running OS 9, then some eMacs running 10.3 (I think). Good to be here, please don't bork the place like the other web masters do Ben

Hi, My name's Tim and I think I'm in the wrong room... <snip> I'm a huuuge music fan and a bit of a hairy old hippy. My last.fm profile is at... www.last.fm/user/Goodbye_HarmonyFrom where it can be seen that I'm fond of a lot of stuff that's probably quite embarrassing... Tim You sound like a bit of a progger! And I recognise a lot of names there from www.radioparadise.com playlists. I've bought loads of stuff after listening to that. I'm even a regular subscriber. The only stations I listen to are RP, R4 or www.morow.com. Now and again Planet Rock but I'm not happy with all the adverts, but a staion that has Rick Wakeman and Fish as DJ's can't be all that bad ;-) Back to RP have a look at the website - you'll see Bill is one of us (MacBook and iMacs) I'll have to investigate this last fm thing a bit more Anyway, welcome Ian

Hello all!
My name is Dave, I'm 15. I switched to the beauty of mac this year! I got my dads old MacBook in April, I saved up went to the Cardiff Apple Store and got Leopard, 2GB RAM, 250GB hard disk! I loved it and I asked for a refurbished iMac for Xmas so I got it early (my parents didn't see the point of it just sitting in a box!) and now I am the proud owner of a 24" iMac with 2GB of RAM a 500GB hard drive with a 2.4GHz processor!
I love the mac, everything about it pure awesomeness! I use Firefox, mail and Adium and currently I am playing World of Goo on my Mac (as well as world of warcraft!)
I like my comedy, I love Ross Noble, Ricky G, Lee Evans, Jack Dee, Jimmy Carr, Bill Bailey, Family Guy.
I have been listening to British Mac since April and recently I started buying MacFormat (their podcast is nowhere as good a BM)
I love the eccentricity of BM and for some reason I understand most of the references! As far as I know I am the only person in my year at school using a Mac so I feel part of a select few who have seen the light!
I still have my Windows machine because I have a ton of PC games I still enjoy playing and I bought them on the Steam service so I cant sell them.

Morning all!
Well, my name's Steven, I've been using a Mac since I bought a G4 digital audio 466, along with Pro Tools and some other music related bits. I mainly use my mac now for music related stuff, I use Logic Pro, Audacity, Reason 4.01 and I'm pretty handy with the audio/MIDI manager and most audio applications, so feel free to PM me or whatever if you use a Mac for audio and are experiencing problems.
I progressed to a Mac along this stupendous history of British computing:
1982, Sinclair ZX Spectrum Actually that's the only date I remember, so the rest are in rough order as it's melded into a blob of memory!
128+, 128+2, Atari ST (with Cubase), Amiga 500 (with the tracker software and Audio Engineer), a couple of dirty PCs running windows 98, then onto the glorious Mac.
I have bought and sold many over the years but the above have been my staple machines. I was running a music workshop up until recently, with 8 iMac 20" Aluminiums all runing 10.5 & Logic and 2 MacBooks, but now I am reduced to a 17" PPC iMac and a dirty Dell laptop running Windows XP (although I have played with OSX86 on it and had it rnning sweet but with no wireless, so no good!)
In the new year I'm looking to upgrade to a Mac Pro for me, a MacBook for her who must be obeyed, an iMac for my son and my daughter is still just learning to draw recognisable faces, so a while for her yet!
Well, I hope to fall in and out of the Mac & Mouse rather akin to an inebreated gentleman from time to time and look forward to making a few chums.
I live in the West Midlands now, but originally from the Pompey area but lived in East London for a long time. I am a guardian reader, radio 4 listener, but also love Hip Hop and really grimey drum and bass, so probably not your average Joe! I've been involved with music for 25 years and it's my love and passion next to the fam.
Speak soon all, great job with the podcast, but I think you need to drink more Will!
Chin chin!
