    Normally, I would not make a thread in the Apple forum to use up a milestone post, but its 5000, a special one, so it gets its own thread! :p

    So I've made it to 5000 posts! And I would say at least 80% of those posts are in this forum. And how quick its been; I celebrated 1000 posts just in June 2007. Thanks to everyone here, I learn a lot from you guys as well. :)

    That doesn't even count towards his post count. If you include only the TRT posts (not even all of off topic), Sam has well over 9000 posts.

    TRT doesn't count towards post count, as its in the Off Topic section. If it did, I would have 9500 posts right now :D.

    I think everyone should chip in and buy Sam a copy of Leopard (legendary student price of course ;)) for all the work he has contributed to NBR. Let's start with Cashmonee making the first contribution. :D

    It doesn't matter, really, since theres only two truly significant things about Leopard:

    1. The box is really cool looking, and shiiiiiiiiiny.... :)
    2. My wallet is $69 lighter.

    Congrats on the 5k posts, Sammy!

    Yes, that would be why I bought it. At least I didn't have to pay the full $130 - then I would have been really really ticked off. Its really a pity that they didn't make Boot Camp a $30 stand alone program available for Tiger...that would have made things a lot easier.

    Not on my real computers. On my crappier ones I have LM3.1 (essentially a variant of Ubuntu), but thats only because they are really old, not any other reason.

    lol I don't think he wants to reveal it. It's not in his profile. He must be in high school, because that's when he "won" his MB, but he could now be in college.

    Wow, Sam I have to pay you a huge complement. You seem a lot older in a mature way because you handle the rudest posters on this forum in a very calm and unbiased way. It's all good, it doesn't matter how old you are, this forum looks up to you and many of us including myself have bought new Macs based on your good help. I still say Cashmonee should buy you Leopard but don't tell him I said that so shhhhh. :cool:

    Haha, thanks hldan! Yes, I do act a lot older online than I actually am. And I find (other than in one occasion a few months back, where I really had to flame) usually, handling "arguments" by feeding back the right contrasts and corrections manages to douse the flames quite well :cool:. Except for that one time. I think you might remember :D.
