Hi,

don't be afraid to go to Apple. I'm a big Apple fan, and I think that the differences are overstated.
If you go to Apple you will be amazed how quickly you feel right at home.
Me for example, I had never used a computer at all before 2005.
From a standing start in 1 year I have learnt tons, I'm not sure that would have been the case on a Windows platform.

Go for a Mac, you'll love it.
