March 27, 200818 yr Hey all, Just thought I'd drop in and say a few words. Been involved in design for so many years I've lost count - mainly print media but over the last three years I've been sucked into the digital world mainly web site design. The whole CSS aspect really intrigues me and I can't believe I used to build sites using tables, aaargh! I'm a huge fan of wordpress, use it as a base for all my sites now. I can't stand Windows (which makes me a Mac fan by default ) I'm trying to get my s**t in order so I can actually get my personal site back up - pixeldeath.com My other baby is Distorted Magazine: http://www.distortedmagazine.com (and that should pretty much reveal what I'm all about, ha ha). So yeah, that's it. Any questions?
March 27, 200818 yr Hey Curvball, Welcome to the forums! It's great to see another Mac user around, there isn't enough of us at the moment! Looking forward to seeing you around. Rob
March 27, 200818 yr Author Hey Curvball, Welcome to the forums! It's great to see another Mac user around, there isn't enough of us at the moment! Looking forward to seeing you around. Rob Cheers Rob! Yeah, Mac is seriously the only way to go I'm currently running iMac 20" Aluminium 2.4GHz with 4GB RAM - and I'm loving it! That combined with my iphone (16GB) and my iPod Classic (80GB) it's pretty clear to see I'm quite frankly an Apple Mac fanatic, ha ha. I hope to share some of my work with everybody soon. I'm heading off to go setup my gallery now.
March 27, 200818 yr Ok I don't like you any more, there is some uber jealousy heading in your direction!
March 27, 200818 yr I can't stand Windows (which makes me a Mac fan by default ) Hey - aren't you forgetting Linux? We're very sensitive to being marginalised you know. And as for you, RobH, I do take exception to you turning this thread into Mac Appreciation Forum Welcome Curvball Hope you enjoy the boards. I checked out your magazine page and found this error at the top - might want to check it out...

March 27, 200818 yr Welcome Mr Punk. You've got the old memory banks going, was a Punk way meself between 1978 and 1982. Seem to recall there was a band on a small indie lable called The Distorted but could be wrong, think they were in the Crass camp. My Punk claim to fame, first band I ever saw was The Clash at The Electric Ballroom. Enjoy the forums.
March 27, 200818 yr Author Ok I don't like you any more, there is some uber jealousy heading in your direction! To be fair, I've been working and saving very hard to ensure I have my toys...

Linux is cool too And I've sorted out that error - my hosting company is screwing me around so I'm looking for a new server.

To everybody, thank you so much for the awesome welcome messages - really feeling like I'm at home here on WDF (can I call it WDF??) Speak to everybody soon!
March 27, 200818 yr Another Mac user here. Does the extra 4gb make a difference ? I have the same now but with 2gb memory. Bootiful machine it is. Nearly bought the 24 inch screen but that'd be madness.
March 28, 200818 yr Author Another Mac user here. Does the extra 4gb make a difference ? I have the same now but with 2gb memory. Bootiful machine it is. Nearly bought the 24 inch screen but that'd be madness. I'd say 4GB RAM is really worth it - at times I'm running photoshop, dreamweaver, CSSedit, firefox, safari, indesign, itunes and others at the same time and I have no issues switching between them all, perfomance is so good, it's like I'm only running one program. I'd say go get the extra 2GB I got all my RAM from Crucial Memory, and it only cost my £100 for 2 x 2GB slots. Speaking of the 24" beast - I'm going to be setting one up for my friends new tattoo studio this Sunday - and he got it for a steal too! Might see if I can trade him, ha ha. Mac users unite!
March 28, 200818 yr Mac fan #4 (or is it 5?) here. Hate to say I've got the Alu24 bloomin gorgeous it is too. Although I'm still thinking about getting a second 22" external screen for dual monitor rig, just not quite sure how I'll explain the sudden appearance of more hardware to the fiance! 4Gb recommended here too especially as it's so ridiculously cheap now, only £30 for a 2Gb SODIMM! Be a crime not to upgrade! Nice mag there Curvball, my background is magazines (I'm and editor), you've got some neat touches in the designs too. Good luck. We should get WDP "Mac fan" sigs or something, start a movement
March 28, 200818 yr Author I demand a Mac only section to the forum! I second that motion! ...seeing as their are some awesome Mac specific design tools (CSSedit, Rapid Weaver etc) ...have a look see at my site please... http://www.pixeldeath.com I really need to get my arse in gear and get it sorted... love the Launchpad theme, been making use of it for all the new sites I'm building. Check it out.
March 28, 200818 yr Author Okay, for all of us Mac fans - I've made a little badge you can use in your signature:) Here it is: And the link to the image is: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h157/Cur.../apple_user.gif
March 28, 200818 yr Author Go harass 'em! Suggestion has been made... http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4947
March 28, 200818 yr Is there a reason why the text is blurry on the badge, or does that only happen if you view it on none macs? I like the badge apart from the blurry text though Anyway welcome to the forum I like your avatar. I hope you find this place a useful resource
March 28, 200818 yr Author Cheers for the kind words Dizi - fixed that badge... I think... So far I'm enjoying WDF... but I should probably be doing some work considering I've got some crazy deadlines around the corner...
March 28, 200818 yr Is there meant to be a white background behind the apple badge? It would look nicer if it was transparent.
