Friends,

Seventeen years ago today (2005), the MacResource forums came into existence!

Thank you, Larry, OWC, and all of the folks who have made this forum a source of fun and learning for so many of us, for so long!

Does that mean we'll have to start acting like adults next year?

Thanks to OWC and especially Larry. It isn't every company that willingly opens a daycare center.

Looks like it was by you. At least the oldest post still retained by the forum.

I'm thinking iPod, but 30 or 60?

Interesting, the names present and absent in that thread.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Trying to remember what machine I had back then. Didn't pick up an iMac until it switched to Intel. I'm guessing a G4 tower? Cheers to all from the guy who is always off in the corner.

Dang... one more year, and we can legally hire the Forum a stripper!
Of course, pretty sure the rules forbid that, so, she'll just have to crash at my place. grinning smiley
