I want to subscribe to a MAC magazine but I don't know which one is good. Also, if you know of any good MAC forums that I should go to to get some info that would be great. Thanks!

Tip #1 - It's Mac. Not MAC. I don't know where MAC came from, other than perhaps a confusion with a NIC's MAC address.

Tip #2 - MacAddict and MacHome are always worthwhile.

I'd skip magazines; the info is usually outdated by the time it gets to your door.

Edit: Well, sometimes there are good articles, plus if you need something to read on the john or during a trip they're nice to have...

It's just a list of Mac sites I've compiled. If you come across any other's I'd be happy to add them :)

Macworld is the online equivalent of a magazine, I really like it:
http://www.macworld.com/

MacNN is kind of like DailyTech but for Mac stuff:
http://www.macnn.com/

If you like up-to-the-minute news, try Digg in Cloud View:
http://digg.com/apple/upcoming/cloud

For general forums, Mac-Forums is a pretty relaxed place to go:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/

For a forums more on the technical site, hit the Mac Owners Support Group forums:
http://macosg.com/group/index.php

If you're looking for a specific hardware resource, there are a number available - 123MacMini, 123MacBook, CubeOwner, and so on. If you're looking for a particular type of resource just ask :)

Oh and if you like Digg for gathering stories, The Unofficial Apple Weblog is a good place to go for more "official" type of information; it's in an Engadget-style format:

Hey! Thanks so much for the info! I wish I am off work already and have a lot of free time to look at some of those links! ;)

Anyway, have you used the opensource software GIMPShop? It looks like a good program similar to Photoshop. I want to try it out.
