The Mac Forum gets my vote, have put the wheels in motion to see what I can do.

I would also like to keep the ipod away from the forum as it covers both or all three. pc, mac and linux and it falls perfect under the mp3 side of the forums.

[ahin4114]

Agreed, though the AppleTV is going to work with PC and Mac, not sure where that's going to find it's home.

I should think Stuart will be fairly busy leading up to the Bristol show now anyhow, maybe if we all buy him a drink we can get him drunk enough to agree to it

[ahin4114]

Stuart has posted over here saying that when the thread reaches 100 posts he'll create a new forum. So all you Mac users out there, get over and show your support on that thread.

Here it is again:

[bentleg]

My Vote is in

[medicalgiant]

As someone who has just purchased a Mac Mini to use in conjunction with a recently purchased (via the for sale forum) media center.

I too would appreciate a Mac forum.

[BenchyUK]

Come on guys please vote and let us Mac users have our own forum

[Eddy.]

It gets my vote!

[pmc]

I'll vote if for nothing else to get the Mac users off into their own little world (they like it there)

And slowly and surely they drew their plans against us

Seriously though, if everybody could cast their vote in the thread I linked to, that's the only one Stuart is counting.

Cheers

[Hitby]

yep, my vote is posted - I think this is a great idea.

[TiSwAs]

Why don't you Mac guyz have a signature explaining what you want and a link to this thread... just thought it might generate more interest.

Me too

It could also end up covering Linux and Unix. As the mac system is a bit of both I dont mind. But please use this to discuss the forum and what you would and what you dont want.

For me having A Mac / Linux / Unix would be fine.

[springtide]

Maybe there should be a forum for Linux and Solaris, with an Opensource non-proprietary hardware/software feel, and a separate forum for proprietary hardware/software systems, like Mac/OSX, Hewlett Packard HP-UX, etc

Linux users are generally Anti Microsoft for it’s proprietary software so I would guess Mac/OSX users would be even more disliked due the added proprietary hardware requirements in addition to what MS impose.

I have voted.

I got a Mac Mini recently and have not been here for a while because of the lac of a Mac subforum. It would be a great addition to this place.

[ghost5]

i dont and never have owned a mac, but know of their strengths esp in the music and video fields.

so even though i'll not be using the forum in the near future you get my vote, as i was looking at getting one for music production before i upgraded to vista

i'll try not to too much but i will be wanting lots of advice regarding my upcoming macbook purchace that i will be getting soon after leopard is released

[BenchyUK]

I was only joking mate

I am going to need all the advice i can get when i get my first mac soon. I want a 20'' imac but everyone on MacRumours keeps telling me i should wait for leopard and for a revised imac that's due at some point.

I don't care about Leopard, i can buy that when it comes out

I knew you were joking i'm just giving you a taster of what the new forum will be like with my constant questions of what model should i get, what upgrade options should i choose,should i take apple care plan etc...

Also i would wait til leopard as it will cost you 80 quid more.(i'm saying that but i am using tiger on my mac mini just now so am on no hurry to upgrade my ailing windows laptop just yet.)

[BenchyUK]

The problem is that we don't know when Leopard is being released. I keep hearing June as a date

I don't really want to wait. new imac specs might not be much better anyway as they only added the intel core 2 duo processors 6 months or so ago. I kow that they are apparently bringing out the imac in new colours

What's worse, i am being slightly tempted by the dark side and Windows Vista as it would be cool with my 360, hense why i need to buy the mac soon

[C225]

Good chance it will be june as that is when the WWDC has been moved to and training sessions are being planned for that time aswell so its looking quite good.

Yes vista does look good and i have used it and it is quite good but i still like the mac much better.

[BenchyUK]

June/July is along time to wait I don't mind paying the £80 when it comes along if it means me getting a mac very soon. Apparently hardware changes to the imac are not happening until near end of the year, so that doesn't bother me

I heard that Leopard will work so well and easily on the current imacs anyway as the current OS has issues with the Intel processors. Having the 2GB Ram and 256mb graphics should be more than enough for me anyway as i am not playing games on it (360 does that) and no video editing. Just the simple computing stuff

Apparently you can buy applecare anytime within your 1 year warrenty aswell which is great news as iwant it but don't have the money for it when i get the mac
