mnfesq Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 I go back to Leopard on an Ivy Bridge laptop. The forum says I started in 2008 but I'm thinking I may have started sooner but that the InsanelyMac website updated early on and everyone had to re-register. I found a copy of 10.4.11 on my desktop but its dated in 2009. I guess the fact that I cannot remember that far back qualifies me as OLD. 5 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/359177-where-have-all-the-old-members-gone/page/2/#findComment-2829399 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zevgoli Posted February 24, 2025 Share Posted February 24, 2025 I started with Mountain Lion back in 2007 or thereabouts. I used Myhack by Conti and his late website to set it up on an old Optiplex 760. I have been a member of this site for quite a while but am sporadic in posting. I was also a member of tony Mac for awhile but got myself banned. 😎 cheers, Howard 2 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/359177-where-have-all-the-old-members-gone/page/2/#findComment-2830603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ammoune78 Posted October 27, 2025 Share Posted October 27, 2025 (edited) I'm still here since my first ASUS P5K-E WiFi AP, where the first installed OS X was Leopard . @STLVNUB And I still remember your first help to me, for fixing the HDA by sending a patch for the board that have a native HDEF support. But can't remember exactly which board was "P5K-E WiFi AP" which was my first or the "GA-EP45-DS3R" which was my second board. But I go for the second I think .But it was on another website, I can't remember exactly which one was, Project OS X or another one. And, it was the good old days, and good to remember. Thanks for, giving us another day, where we can immerse ourselves in the deep of the Good Old Days Edited October 27, 2025 by ammoune78 3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/359177-where-have-all-the-old-members-gone/page/2/#findComment-2842821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanthraX Posted October 27, 2025 Share Posted October 27, 2025 (edited) I am here from when this site has been born. Started with OS X 10.4 Tiger. I was so fascinated by the OS X interface, but too poor to can buy a real Mac. Before this time, I modded Windows to look like Panther than Tiger, dreaming to Apple to switch from PPC to Intel. And now the dream is over. Sorry I was so busy yesterday then I had to complete my statement now. I still keep my Tiger in a virtual machine Edited October 28, 2025 by XanthraX 5 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/359177-where-have-all-the-old-members-gone/page/2/#findComment-2842828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
