This weeks site in the spotlight is iBoughtAMac.com. I’ve been reading iBAM, as Brent Spore refers to his site, off and on for a little over a month. If it wasn’t for this Digg entry I probably would have never ran across Brent’s site :) I just happened to be looking in the right place at the right time.
Brent, like a lot of Mac converts these days was a long time PC user. One day he found himself at the mercy of advanced podcasts and decided to throw in the towel. The rest is history. Since that glorious day in November when Brent made the switch, he’s been working hard to make iBAM a safe haven for new Mac users. Here’s a short description of what iBAM has to offer…
iBoughtAMac aims to deliver a well rounded collection of information for the first time Mac user. You’ve got questions, iBoughtAMac hopes to have the answers. If, after browsing the archives your question has not yet been answered, shoot us a friendly email…
Beyond good content (tutorials, software reviews, and troubleshooting) iBam has some great contests. Earlier this month Brent offered an iPod Shuffle as a prize for his Review My Site Contest. I really should have written up this review earlier, but I guess thats the way the cookie crumbles. Turn the page a few weeks and Brent has another great contest going. This time around a much more expensive prize, an AppleTV! To get your hands on the prize you need to be the talented person to win the iBoughtAMac logo contest. So get your design on and win yourself a new shiny AppleTV!
As if the chance to win an AppleTV isn’t enough… Your design will be judged by a “celebrity” panel of judges, including: Justine Ezarik, Paul Stamatiou, Kenny Saunders, Shaun Andrews, Jonathan Snook, Dan Rubin, Nicole Wopperer, Derek Punsalan, and Brent himself.
If you’ve recently bought a new Mac, or plan on doing so soon head on over to iBoughtAMac.com and have a look around. While you’re there tell Brent that Large Marge sent you… eeerrr I mean Nick Young, lol :)

WOW! Thank you for the great review! I appreciate it! The site has been a fun and exciting project for sure and I’m really happy with my new Mac. I hope you are having the same experience. Thanks for the link, the kind words and the raves. All is greatly appreciated!
Talk soon!

I’ve been loving every second with my MBP. I can’t say that I’ve had a bad experience with it yet… well one kernel panic, but that could hardly be considered a bad experience.
I’m glad you enjoyed the review. One of my goals of the weekly site review is to get the word out about some of the lesser known Mac/Apple sites. Of course everyone knows about TAB, TUAW, and Cult of Mac, but the ‘goods’ (proof? lol) are in the pudding as they say, not the main course.
Keep up the great work Brent!
