Hi there. I am new to the mac too and have tried to avoid going to the PC as a rescue. It's been a steep learning curve but I'm slowly getting it. One thing I still want to know is how to take my documents from the PC to the Mac and how to know what programs will or won't work on a mac. I find the internet rather confusing still but mostly have mastered e/mail. Just don't know how to open attachements. Lovette
