A few years ago a couple of Dutch Mac craving people decided to start a website to beg for money. Before we actually started the website, Tales already bought a MacBook. And after having spent a few years on this website, all the others also finally have their Macs. Wouter reached his goal earlier this year. And I actually bought my iMac last month. Cheetah was never planning to buy anything from Apple, he was just our techie guy. All four of us reaching our goal, means that the website has served its purpose. So this made me, and the other team members, think about the future. What will happen to MacDesperate? Should we keep the website open? Or would it be a better idea to close it? I discussed it with all the team members. And everyone agreed that the goals have been reached. Therefore, we aren't really MacDesperate anymore. We might have kept the website open if the news and all of that would have been active. But we have to be honest, the news has never been our focus point.

Basically, what I'm saying, we're closing MacDesperate...

Not to worry. I will move the goodies to Miss Design and my blog. The posts about bags will also be moved to my blog. And the iMac newbie series will also be moved to my blog. I also think I will continue writing about being an iMac newbie.

I'm not sure what the others will do with their posts. I guess we'll have to ask them.

The website will stay open until spring of 2012. I will continue blogging and posting goodies on Miss Design and my personal blog!

See you there!

Welcome to MacDesperate! The long wait is finally over. We're here to keep you informed about the latest Mac and Apple related news, while we're saving up to get some Macs ourselves. We'll have goodies, fun articles and much more for you to enjoy here. Just make sure you give back by making a donation! Thanks a lot, and welcome again!

Tomorrow is the launch of MacDesperate. Or well theoretically the launch will be today, but I haven't had sleep yet and it's a bit past midnight. While I'm writing this, I'm still finishing up some stuff, just like some of the other team members. Gotta make sure it's perfect, right? We really hope you will enjoy our new site. We would really appreciate feedback too! We're all very nervous at the moment and hyper because of all the deadlines. But I'm very sure we'll make it in time
