Welcome to Macintosh
New Ideas for Low End Mac?
- 2007.05.08
Bong! . . . :-) . . . Welcome to Macintosh!
Last time I spoke briefly about Low End Mac at 10. I also spoke of a surprise coming up that will hopefully change Low End Mac in a positive way.
No, I'm still not gonna tell. In due time, friends, in due time.
It did get me thinking: Let's ask our loyal readers what changes or additions they would like to see. Without our readers, LEM wouldn't be celebrating its 10th year.
Think about it: Has there ever been a time when you were visiting LEM and you had an idea of what would make it better? You've longed to have your voice heard.
We here at Low End Mac want to hear your ideas - how can we make things better in the years ahead?
Let the roar of thunder roll through your mind, and let that lightning strike in an email full of ideas. You could make LEM history. You could very well change the face of Low End Mac - maybe even the universe. :-)
Stand up for what you think is right! You got an idea you think will make LEM better? Spill it! Send your ideas to thomas (at) lowendmac (dot) com. All emails will be passed along to Dan, and every one will get 100% consideration. We'll take the best ideas and publish them in a future Welcome to Macintosh article.
What are ya sittin' there for? Get busy and write us an email with your ideas!
To close this column, I thought I'd let one of our loyal readers share a memory of Low End Mac with everyone. This one comes from Eric Buczynski:
"My favorite story would have to be the time I had
written a tutorial on disassembling and cleaning your CD-ROM drive
to Macinstruct.com. The best
part was that Low End Mac was one of the sites I'd check out when I
woke up every morning, yet there was the one special morning that I
was checking out the site and saw a link to my article on
Macinstruct. That just blew my mind. Maybe some of you see it as no
big deal, but for someone like me who was always hiding in the
shadows or being a wallflower, it felt really good to see my name
on the Internet."
