Jim;
It's good to see you're investigating the mac and going about it in the right way. Here are several possibilities to get your questions answered.
First though, hard is a subjective term but I'll say that after 15 years of using windows in various guises from 3.11 to xp, My switch to the mac attitude took less than three months. I still dabble in windows mostly for work after 5 years with the mac os but much prefer the mac. It took a little time, mostly administrative to get things setup and functioning and I've gained some new skill along the way.
The botto of this message and the one from you sports a really good link for getting started. In addition,
