Please no flames!
I must say wow it only took me like two hours to get my ibook running it is way cool all I can say is that it is a little bit diffrent. Ok i have not faced any major problems but I do feel that the mac user comunity is dead when I was using linux everything may not have been incredibly easy but I felt like a member of a comunity. I think that mac users don't help their brethrin out much.

There are other mac users where Iam studieng and they just say that I am not a mac guy they think Im a tinkerer a pc user well I love to tinker whats the point of having something that you do not know how to use fully?

So you maight say that linux people are a bit elitist but what the hell man I was a total novice when I joined but they treated me with rispect then I became a intermediate person but they still helped .

Is it just me but are you the majoroty of mac users just a bunch of novices who only know how to use your macs and never really want to learn more do you really ever ask questions.

All I can say is I didn't buy a mac because of the comunity I baught it because of the os But unless you can prove me wrong I feel like the mac users of this forum in partucular are really cold and just do not have a lust for knowledge. I feel like I'm in my business classroom this is just stuffy and coporate atleast try to prove me wrong

Or I will continue to think that this comunity is full of (shudders) retards

xyle_one:
No. Generally the mac community is as helpful and embracing as the linux community. However, and maybe its just me, but the majority of linux users here seem anti-mac. In fact, it feels like we are constantly defending our platform of choice. I apologize if i come off as an eltist asshole mac user, it is just a product of constantly being on the defensive.

Of course. I could just be misinterpreting peoples comments and everyone does value the mac users presence here.

I kinda feel the opposite.  (Not for you though Ecsyle)

psyjax:
Well Kibi, you are welcome to ask questions here at any time and I'll be much abliged to help, as will Ecyle, Macman, etc.

Also, you may want to check out the Apple forums, at   Apple.com. Some great resource, comunity/forum, sites as well, are:

http://www.LowEndMac.com/
http://www.macslash.com/
http://www.macnn.com/
http://www.resexcellence.com/  <---slow, but awsome!
http://osx.hyperjeff.net/Apps/
http://apple.slashdot.org/

And that's just off the top of my head  :D

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with some jerks, but you will find that with a little looking and politeness, there is plenty of Mac related info, and community. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with, or if these links helped.

Your friendly moderator, Psyjax.

jasonlane:
Sorry Kiba....

Been away from these forums for a while (actually working ...hard).

But to emphasise what psyjax, Ecsyle und Faust have said, any questions pass 'em this way.
Actually here's an interesting one, if anything because you can access it through sherlock:

sherlock://sherlock.clan-mac.com/channels/macosxhints/SherlockChannel.xml

(this forum puts http:// infront of href's so it don't quite work as it should, just put the above into the safari / Moz address bar)

Actually as a sideline follow this link for more sherlock channels:
