Oh...you've come here, have you? Apparently enough people have that the chief inspector of FAQ questions (you've seen her) has told me that I have to put something in here. As far as the Mac goes, I've only been on one for about six years or so (my first 'real' mac was a PB5300)(which is still in operation, having retired to Florida), though I started emulating them a few years before that (on my trusty old Amiga 3000 (040/40)). I have plenty of manuals laying around; most are in the familiar 'brand new-never used' condition...
At the moment here, I have a gamut of machines here and operational...besides the Amiga, there's a Duo with dock, a Power Center Pro (604/210), a G4/450 (a refurb/obr, which was one of the early top models, when Apple was having trouble getting the 500 chip-so it has the DVD-RAM drive), and the Wallstreet (now G4/500) that I'm usually on.

And now, they've made me co-moderator of this madhouse...

I learn by doing, and by asking the guinea pigs early adoptors (why I'm here)...

And once in a while, maybe I get a chance to have a little fun...

SOME REJECTED MACINTOSH FAQ ENTRIES
1. Q: Hi! I just got a new Mac. How do I connect it to my PC?

3. Q. Hi! I'm so fed up with Windows XP - it crashes on me and I get confused. I'm thinking about getting a MAC, but a MAC is so expensive and the MAC doesn't have any games. What do you think?
A. What am I, a *)(*)&&*&ing BANK? Why don't I just (@)(*#$()# write you a )(*(#)#&@( check, you cheap-ass )()_*##*@)*&#*)(.

He's been dragged in, kicking and screaming, and edited this entry, so I suppose the answer is yes...

rjackson was very helpful and submitted many good articles. Unfortunately, in doing so he got too close to the FAQ's event horizon and now he's here forever.

Yes! In fact, prwood has set up an ATM Baby Tracker just to keep track of them! If you'd like your new Mac users to be listed, just send him the info.
