just joined this forum.
I have been Microsoft user many many years and so my habits are well engrained in my head.
I have been toying with idea of switching to Mac for about a year now for several reasons.
Am very intrigued with the many good things I hear about MAC and yet a little fearful of all the NEW stuff I will have to learn and re train this old brain.
My first concern with Mac was how can I use all my many Word,Excel and PP files without having to buy a lot of software. And can I still do some of my favourite things on Mac and I did on MS PC. I did use a lot of non MS products and have discovered that many of them have MAC versions. So there I am in luck.
After a lot of research, I see that with a little bit of bending here and there, it will be of no big concern.
Recently from library book on dummies...switching to mac...I am even more confused with the basic keyboard functions and how to work with Mac. Connecting printers and scanners, getting drivers and all that techy stuff which I am not too familiar with.
I have put that book aside for now until I let my brain rest.
I plan to pop in and get some feedback as I find out more and more.
I plan to buy a Macbook Air.
