Total Newb here

Hello all, been browsing the forum the last couple of days so I thought I'd take the time to introduce myself! My names Flic and I'm a TOTAL Mac convert after only a week of ownership! It's even starting to affect my sleep...

I was a self taught Windows user (VERY basic knowledge i might add! but enough) so I thought - what the heck! I like change, I'll give Mac a go... and I am in love! Well, as much as one can be in love with a Macbook. It was a bit temperamental getting it online, mostly down to my lack of skills regarding wireless router setting up! but everything is sorted now and it's fab. Everything just seems so much nicer on a Mac, I dont know what it is... but I am certainly hooked!

I know I am no where near using it to it's full potential yet! but I hope to be learning more and more as each day goes by, no doubt asking you lot a few questions along the way! Be warned I am a total novice, but i like to think I'm a fast learner (i hope!)

So, hello everyone! I look forward to bugging you all with my questions ;-)

Hey welcome to the boards!

Congrats on the new Mac.. I just got a new one yesterday too!

Welcome Flic,

I just got a MacBook recently myself. I love it as well - in fact, all of my college work has been done on my MacBook. Think I've touched my Windows XP computer maybe 2 times in the last month - and that was just for games.

Welcome to the forums! If you ever have any problems, these folks are very knowledgable.

Awww, thanks you lot. I can tell i'm going to like it here already!

Welcome Flic.

Here's a tip. Learn to love the search function. If you post a topic that has already been discussed here umpteen times, some of the regulars here can get a little cranky. Just a friendly heads up.

I hope you enjoy your Mac.

LOL

Flic, there are also some extremely funny and dry-witted folks around here with their tongues firmly planted (rooted practically?) in cheek!

Welcome aboard, Flic. You'll find a lot of helpful information here and many other places online. It's a little bit of an adjustment, but you can learn a lot by doing a bit of reading.

Thanks for the lovely warm welcome all!

Hey Flic! Welcome to MF. As a recent convert myself (8 days as of today) I can tell ya they the adventure has just begun! I find new things almost every day, that and the folks here are extremely helpful... as long as ya search first

Oh Yeah, the search fuction is my best friend at the moment! But I fear that since almost all my questions have already been asked, what am I going to find to post about?! lol

Trust me...you'll probably come up with something. It's just a matter of time. :flower: Even if it's one of those nice "Mac" surprises that happen quite often!
