[QUOTE="didymus, post: 945797, member: 98293"] That seems like a pretty expensive solution! I just transferred over my wireless network - took a surprisingly short time. I switched to the Mac in April after more than 25 years with PCs - I haven't regretted it for a minute even though, as others have said, it isn't perfect - being a machine. However, I'm using a PC at the moment and have been for a week of more and I'm reminded what damage Windows can do to your productivity - things simply go wrong more often as you've found. If you switch, though, I'd recommend transferring your PC stuff to a virtual machine under VMFusion (which I use), Parallels, or Virtual Box (free). There are some programs for which there is no really good Mac equivalent. For example, I use Homesite, the html editor a lot in editing an online journal, and nothing for the Mac comes close in ease of use and functionality. I've also got Photoshop on the PC and didn't want to buy a new Mac version. You may have the same kind of issue. One nice thing, XP seems to run faster on a virtual machine on my iMac than it did on the PC! [/QUOTE]
