Hey Phil,
No worries! You should have seen all the questions I sent to the list before
buying my Mac. And everyone was great about it. From what you say you wish to
do, I'm sure the Mac will be fine. In a lot of ways it's fun to use the Mac,
but there are still a few annoyances, like selecting text on a web page that
hopefully will be worked out soon.
I'm not sorry I bought a Mac, but would not be able to get by without my old
Windows machine to do the things the Mac can't do yet.
Cheers,
Russell
