Other than getting a chance to get free stuff, what is this group for?

I am 100% behind any mac/apple group, but it has to have a purpose such as promoting apple products, helping switchers, or any number of other topics related to Apple. Is there more to this group than a chance to win something? If there isn't I wouldn't turn down any free mac stuff headed my way. Free is good.

I am a pc person, and I have always wanted to switch to mac, but money is always an issue with switching. I love Apple hardware, and I love OS X, but being that I can't afford such a glorious system I have been ignoring the need to change. So now I might now have a motive to actually get myself a mac. So bring on the freebies!!! :-D; ▶ Reply to This

Consider that a mac will last far longer on average than the low cost windows machine. I have an G3 imac that I updated to 10.4 and still use off and on today. Get the most up to date mac you can afford and it will last many years.; ▶ Reply to This

I have one of the older "black books" but todays macbooks are aluminium. I wish i could get one of these.. In any case free software is always welcome. And yes I think that this might make people switch.; ▶ Reply to This

No sooner did I buy it then they up graded the processor and bus speed. Now I hear that they will again upgrade the imac.
If your computer does everything you need it to do then it is just fine. I went from a G3 imac to an aluminum one. I plan on keeping both for some time. They both work and perform for what I need them for just fine.; ▶ Reply to This

This said through a 1999 Lombard keyboard, let me welcome you to the Mac community!; ▶ Reply to This
