They are very accustomed to people walking in to "switch" and will fill your head with anything you need to get going. When I switched there was an adjustment period, and I still operate a desktop PC as my primary home machine so I have a foot on each side. Unless you are investing in lots of paid apps, it's pretty painless to switch. If you do decide to switch, the one thing I'd suggest is to try to embrace the "Mac way" or doing things as much as possible. The longer you cling to things like Office and Outlook the more painful it's going to be for you in the long run. It's a bit of a shock to the system at first, but there really are pretty good Mac equivalents to just about everything, but get the stuff that's designed for the Mac first. The PC software makers tend to do kinda a crappy job, in general, at porting things over. It will just frustrate you when they don't work like they did on the PC, so you're going to have to learn something new anyway - why not make it something that's native and "built for Mac"? -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:351539 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
