I recommend it - obviously. There is definitely a learning curve, or there was for me. Some of my favorite functions in PC's can be replicated in Macs - right click function menus, for instance. And it took me a while to get used to exporting document files to different formats and figuring out what would work with my email and what the person at the other end could open. Pages (the world processing program) is not compatible with my gmail for instance, but I can export a pages document as a word doc or a pdf, etc.

I actually do miss some things about Word and excel vs Pages and Numbers (the Mac versions) but I just need to take more time mastering the Mac versions (I haven't had an office job in a while so the need to use them and really learn them hasn't been there).

If you get a Mac, you can also take group classes or one on one sessions at the Apple stores, and go to as many as you like. If you live near an Apple store I highly recommend taking advantage of this.
