Curious if there are any Mac users on here that have found a recommendable forum ref using a Mac computer? Looking for a forum similar to the helpful one we have here and had at World Start, just one focused on Macs rather than Windows. I've never used a Mac and since using an iPhone and an iPad, decided to engage this old brain with a MacBook Pro for Christmas, as Apple has them all working together quite well. Difficulty at the moment is the 2 other devices use the iOS operating system, while the MacBook Pro uses OS X operating system, just updated to High Sierra from the Sierra version . Apple is considering in the not too distant future to be more interoperable and have developers only need to set up apps for one system which can be used on all 3, actually also the iWatch and the iMac desktop as well, rather than using two different operating systems. Then things should be a little easier and more comfortable for use and learning.
There are some Mac versions of familiar windows programs, and I've been able to add Malwarebytes (MBAM), CCleaner, AdBlock +, and a Mac version of Libre Office open source office like program (which I still use on an old Windows 10 laptop). While there are some similarities to using Windows, there are a heck of a lot of differences and would like to have a forum for learning.... many of the current Mac forums seem to be used by very experienced and long time Mac users and questions and answers tend to be more intricately detailed/technically focused and a bit confusing to a neophyte or new user of a Mac product/system .....
Thanks in advance for any forum suggestions. Haven't seen Sunny on here for a long time and don't know if she has a blog or forum like location available for reference and learning involving Macs like she had with Windows learning and suggestions.....
