Come meet the real Gaz at Macstock!
There wouldn’t be a “Guy & Gaz” at MyMac without Gaz, so today we’re meeting Gazmaz, Mac user since 2006, frequent contributor to For Mac Eyes Only, and one of the co-hosts of the MyMac.com Podcast.
Because I became feed up of being the administrator for the Windows box that we owned, plus I had a horrific failure which if I hadn’t been as geeky as I had been I’d have lost a load of personal data, mainly photo’s. I was though extremely hesitant at first because I thought that I’d miss ‘getting my hands dirty’ by getting into the machine, how wrong I was with the older Mac Mini’s. Not so much now of course, but that means I get to play with all that great software.
What would you say to someone to convince them to come to Macstock?
If you listen to any Mac podcast, or if you have had any interaction with the wonderful Mac community, this will be about the only opputunity, now that Macworld has gone, to meet a wonderful group of people. Although you can avoid me if you want to 🙂

Guy posing with a Wendy’s triple hamburger!
Today we’re meeting Guy Serle, a long time Mac user and, along with Gazmaz, one of the co-hosts of the MyMac.com Podcast.
Going all the way back to the early 80s when I first saw a crude flight simulator on an old Apple II I’ve been fascinated by computers and what they had the potential of doing. As soon as I could afford one, I bought into it to see if I could translate some of that interest into the real world. That old Mac Plus served me well and convinced me that this was something I wanted to pursue.
What would you say to someone to convince them to come to Macstock?
If you ever went to the Macworld Expo and enjoyed it beyond the vendor’s booths then this is your chance to experience the community again. If you never went to the Macworld Expo, this is your chance to get a taste of what it was like at a much lower cost and in an area that won’t judge you based on your fashion sense or in my case lack of fashion sense.

I started on a Mac in 1984 and never owned a PC until I built one for my son a few years back. I was forced to use a PC at work for about 5 years and I never got to the point where I could say I ever enjoyed any of my time with it. Everything felt like a chore and just too darn hard. Even though some people choose Windows, I can’t imagine choosing it myself.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience the Mac community you hear so much about, Macstock and the Midwest Mac BBQ will show you the essence of it. It’s a community-built project to teach, to learn, and I’m betting to laugh together. (more…)
