Macintosh Computers

With the growing popularty of Macintosh computers would it be possible to have a defined section covering Mac OS X operating system and Mac Computers in general? This would be save quite a bit of time when searching for information especially when it is of a technical nature and be an innovation which would be appreciated by Apple owners.

hmm, I'm not sure how much it would get used but I like the idea.
My personal opinion is that it might be worth trialling as a Sub Forum of computers and hardware along with windows and linux sub forums, if they are used then they can stay if not then they can just be merged back into computers and hardware...

Only if there is a Linux form as well
I like the idea, may be even a Mac / Linux forum combined.

I'm with Davidhil, MAC's are becoming more popular and it will be good to encourage MAC users onto the forum by adding the option.

Perhaps we could implement this as part of our upcoming launch of Apple Mac support in the CSC?

Being someone who's very interested in Apple Macs, I'd certainly say a dedicated (or semi-dedicated) forum would be a nice idea.

As Chilly said, a *nix based forum would be good.

It’s good to know that Plus Net have taken note of the interest in Macs as on reading their e-mail received today I see that they are going to create a section in their support pages that sets out a series of Mac tutorials. Also the fact that their Customer Support Team are being trained to be able to answer Mac-related questions will be helpful to a number of people who may be experiencing problems.
Judging by the positive feedback and number of people who have viewed this thread this development will be welcomed.

Given the popularity of Linux will there be any support for that too - I know there are a lot of flavours but a section would be nice
