When I moved from PC to a laptop, I had the same issues with looking down at the screen, and being that I spend 10 hours/day at my computer, soreness was a problem! I just pulled out a USB keyboard, then put my laptop between two stacks of books to raise the screen.

Now for spreading the Mac love I love my Mac for super-nerdy reasons, like the fact that the OS is infinitely more efficient and the maintenance I have to do is laughable. You’ll experience better battery life than with a Windows machine, because OSX makes sure your battery doesn’t drain like a leaky bucket.

I’m with everyone else when I say that my computer almost never freezes. A Mac will almost never have weird problems, b/c the OS is tested with the ONLY hardware that the company will allow for the computers.

It just takes a little time to fall in love with a Mac. To quote Yoda, “you must unlearn what you have learned”. The big secret to using a Mac is to think “what would make the most sense?”, as opposed to Windows which is more along the lines of “what’s the most half-assed backward way of doing something?”

Just give yourself some time You’ll love it eventually

First of all I would suggest that you not buy anything with Microsoft’s name on it. As was mentioned in one of the comments, you can for FREE download a copy of Open Office, which I have been using for the past 4+ years on the MAC, and feel that it is just as good or better than Microsoft Office.

Here is a link to their site: http://www.openoffice.org/

I too jumped off of the Microsoft trolley about 5 years ago, and never looked back!.
