Get Started Banner



"You found it." Indeed, and it was pretty damn hard to do that!

I am a user since August 2001, that's a quite long time. I don't know how long this banner is online, but I haven't noticed it before until today. Today is my first time that I clicked on it, and I must say: It's magnificent!!! Really, it is very handy, especially for new Mac users!

The but-side (hehe) of the story: Is it really supposed to be camouflaged like that? First of all it looks like an ad-banner, no one wants to click on it. And its style is so integrated into the website you can hardly see it!

That's very sad. it is a very good feature of this website and I think it has to get more attention. It really needs a more "noticeable" style.

I doesn't even look like a banner (no border) neither does it look like a link.

Shouldn't we add "Free tech support" in the menu ?

That's much better! But, maybe a bit more vertical "centralized"?
