I'm learning Rally Finnish lately :)

As you might noticed I write Rally English, so of course I speak ralli suomea, the real hard core kieli puhua tietokoneista ;)

So is there more finnish speaking than swedish speaking Mac users?
Ja sama suomeksi: Onko täällä enemmän suomea puhuvia, kuin ruotsia puhuvia?
Och samma på svenska: ööö...Jag kan inte tala svenska.

There is an entire Finnish forum for Macintosh based discussions so it’s possible, though I hear Finns usually use Windows (and Android) more. I bought my Swedish/Finnish ADB keyboard from that forum. I also have one of my OS8 Macs with the Finnish language on it so I can learn computer words from it, and it forces me to look it up in my Finnish-English dictionary. It’ll pay off when I’m there someday.

There was finnish magazine called Macmaailma, it started 1989 and was good until 2003 when it merge to PC-magazine called Tietokone.
So if you want learn finnish, it might be best way to read that magazine, paper version might hard to find even in Finland, so I hope somebody can scan them to pdf for you.
Some covers: https://web.archive.org/web/20000603210859/http://www.macmaailma.fi/arkisto.html

My 68k Powerbook is with finnish Mac OS 8.1 and G3 Powerbook has english Mac OS 8.1 (of course it has OS9.2.2 too), so it's easy to translate.

EDIT: want to add to everybody that Macmaailma between 2004-now is not real magazine like that old Macmaailma (now it is only flyer in Tietokone magazine), in year 2004 there was magazine called Studio that made by writers of Macmaailma.

Those were the days... even Finns had a Mac-centric magazine. Wish I could find some of those old copies. I bet people on that forum I mentioned have them. https://hopeinenomena.fi

Archive.org has Macmaailma magazine years 1994 and 1995. But I think there was CD-ROM from publisher that had years 1999-2002, correct me if I am wrong. And ofcourse if somebody has any years that not avaible in archive.org please upload.

I have some too low resolution GIF scans from year 1998 (from MacOS8.5 time)
So there is example page from December 1998.
Title is Vauhtia Vanhuksiin and it is hard to translate good way, because direct tranlations is Speed into old people :o , but every finnish people understand that "vanhuksiin" meaning "into old computers" if computer (or parts of it) picture is in page.
