The Macintosh Asylum


Hi, my name is Dave, and I'm a Macoholic.

Far from an expert myself, I once turned regularly to the Mac-related comms on VileJournal for information and assistance. But, that was then; this is now. In the process terminating my association with VJ, it became clear that there were no such asylums for Mac users here at InsaneJournal. So I created one. Someone had to. Still no expert, it is my hope that [info]macintosh will eventually grow to serve the same purpose as those comms on VJ -- people helping people -- but without the New And Improved™ nanny-state/corporate-whore culture that now poisons VJ from the top down.

We're off to a slow start, but even despite my customary negligence, this asylum has continued to grow, bit by bit. I will continue to post about critical updates for Mac users, and Really Big News in the world of Apple. As things pick up, it may be necessary for me to hand off maitenance/moderation to others, but you have my solemn promise: this asylum will not be orphaned. Unless I die unexpectedly. But I can't seem to find a spot for that on my calendar. So, if you're a Mac user, please join the Macintosh asylum, and help us help each other.

Live or Love California? Here's a comm:

I'm a Canadian, who's moving to California in the next month, and couldn't find an active California community here.

So I made one. It's still new, and I'm working on a proper layout and such, but come join. Suggestions are always welcome. :)
