Let me begin by asking for forgiveness for a couple of items. 1. If this is a regularly discussed topic, please forgive me; I did not see it addressed somewhere else 2. I am a PC user (please no throwing things at me, I already have enough trouble to deal with)
The problem is I am a PC user and always have been. I got my first PC around 1987, and have never known anything else. I sit at a PC for work all day every day, and then any time I do things at home it is also on a PC. Suffice it to say I am tired of the trouble I have always assumed to be a necessary evil when working with computers until recently when I have had some people around me discuss a Mac.
Here's what it boils down to: How in the world can I switch from a PC to a Mac when everything I have (software, hardware, smartphone, etc.) was made to work with Windows. Honestly I could see moving all of my personal stuff to a Mac as I know there are applications which can make most of the hardware work, but my biggest issue is with my work related applications. I use a Dell Laptop at work, and often have to bring work home. Of course the work system is all Windows, and I just don't know if there is any way I could switch over my work computer to a Mac and still operate. If I am stuck with having to use a PC at work, then I will have to live with one at home to so that I can make sure I can transfer everything back and forth without problems.
Anyway, sorry for the rambling, but any suggestions anyone has would be appreciated.
