[Snowflake]

and I am starting to think about what I am going to buy later on this year in the way of a new computer.

So far, everything I've heard about vista has been horrible. So this is causing me to pause and think maybe I should electronically change my computer orientation and go with a mac?

I'm not a complete idiot, but I have never worked on an Apple PC. I know there is plenty of software for me with regard to podcasting and I am sure I can adapt.

I have LOADS of files and documents on my PC and I don't want to lose them or have to fight to convert them to an mac-friendly format. Is this something I should even be worrying over?

This won't be happening for a while, but with a PC that is almost 7 years old, it's time to start thinking about a new baby.
