Thoughts on the Mac community

I am about 5 days old in the Mac community. I like it. Everyone seems to be open and helpful not to mention excited about Macs overall.

I was just wondering what everyone else thought.

I moved to the new OS a few months ago, and ever since it's been nothing but great from fellow users. I go to an Apple Store and *gasp* people know what they're talking about! I don't know something incredibly easy? People actually will tell you how to do it instead of saying "oh my god, I can't believe you don't know it..." (granted we're all a bit guilty of that I guess, but it seems like a lot less of it happens in the general Mac community).

I've been on a Mac for over 10 years now and it still the same today as it was back then. People are friendly and helpful. I fear that as the Mac platform grows that may change though.

I'm a member of quite a few Mac Forums around the web, a moderator at one, and I find that they tend to attract very nice and informative users.

Agreed, I've gotten much help from this forum and just want to give a big word of THANKS for all those that have posted with suggestions and help.
