Thanks Grimace and Cheryl. The links answered a lot of questions. Sounds like OSX has made file transfer more or less seamless. Used Macs throughout grad school and for a few years after so I'm familiar with the old systems (1998 and before). I'll have to price the Imac out!
Question. Is this the right forum to discuss whether I should get a new PC or try a new Mac? I used Macs for a few years and loved them, but finally succumbed in 1999 and went PC (ex wife demanded it). Recently saw my brother-in-law's new Imac and got that same old feeling but am concerned...
