I've used PCs at work for years, though, too, so I know the feel of both well enough to know what I like. As a matter of principle, I don't much believe in getting too old to learn a new thing ;->. I do think that what we are used to frames our expectations about how things ought to work, and that learning curves require a bit of time and effort to conquer. Changing platforms is a little more complex than learning the newest version of an operating system, but not much. If you are ever interested in considering a Mac, go to a dedicated Mac store and have someone who knows the platform introduce you to one.

Computing since 1985, I have never owned an Apple machine, and now I'm told that I'm probably too old to adapt to it. Sorry to hear of your loss!
