I have set my heart on a new Apple Mac though. They seem superior all round to Windows machines. I'm just a bit concerned about my Windows software. I've a upto date full Microsoft office suite plus software I use for transferring music and photos to my iPad without getting iCloud or whatever involved.
I have a recent Photoediting suite from Nikon and one from Coral. All expense I dont want to repeat on a Mac.
I can do without the photo software as I don't often do more than crop my pictures. I prefer to use the camera in manual and get results that way, some photos I see look really false with too mch manipulation.

Gremlin, You are clearly having the same thoughts and concerns as I had before my recent switchover to a Mac. I too had an investment in some software that I would be reluctant to loose, and also some software with 'no obvious equivalent'. I would suggest you have a look at a product called VMware, it will enable you to keep your Windows software running on the Mac while you 'settle in' to the new environment and try out alternatives, 'it does what it says on the can'. If you want more detail of my switchover experience send me a PM.
