Well said, Robo!

I started following Apple rumors back when AI was still "MacNN Reality." Then it became AI, and the arrival of the forums sucked up even more of my time. Ah, yes, there was a Blackout! I somehow seem to remember it was Ryan from MacOSRumors who was hosting the forum on a G4 Cube and the HD borked? When we found a safe haven on AN, I enjoyed being "part of" even more. All that time spent on AN over the years definitely helped make me who I am today. It's a shame that Jack is not around for the 10-year party - it would have been epic!

Edit: Just logged back in to AI, for the heck of it. Looks like it went further downhill. The layout is unreadable, and all the threads are reposts of front page articles. WTF?

I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever.

AI bot is the biggest poster these days. Even if beaten to the punch by a real person, the first thread is consigned to the scrap heap so the importance of the overlord is maintained.

Hate to say it but the forum has actually improved - you should have seen it when Huddler first got introduced!

Anyway: holy shit 10 years. Congrats to the admin/mod team. You guys have built a hell of a thing.

Yeah, congrats admin/mod team and to the members of the forum. 10 years and quality discourse speaks volumes about both.

For better or worse, this place is like my longest internet addiction. I only have a few bookmarks in the bookmarks bar, but the first is 'an' and it's a daily habit.

Wow. Ten years? Impressive.

I still check here almost every day, but my posting here, and online in general, has dropped dramatically.

Wait. What? 10 years? My 10 year wedding anniversary is tomorrow. I can't believe that all this happened as I was getting ready for a wedding!

It's nice to be back. Now it's time to see if the doctor is still in.

+1 Yeah, hi InactionMan!

Trust all is well with you. Been a long time between check-ups. Let the Doc know what you've been up to.
