I hate windows
Thanks. Sounds interesting. Will investigate next time at the local apple store.

Next day: I must get out more. I understand Microsoft Office is available to put in the apple machine. I haven't tried it yet but am assured by the apple people I will be able to use all my past MS Office stuff.

Also worth trying the Apple office products, Pages, Numbers etc, to see whether all of the features of your old files are compatible - in which case you have a free option too.
Thanks for the encouragement chaps.
I am taking it slowly as now in my 70s all friends are PC users and I have no one to talk to about Macs (sounds a bit sad doesn't it).
However I will be going ahead but am not sure if to go for the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. The local apple store is in the local shopping centre not far away and they answer all my initial simple questions.

Also have laptops with Win7, Vista, and Linux Mint, of those I prefer Win7 (mainly because I use it at work) but Linux Mint is very good indeed. Thing is most of what I do is browser based and all of them use Firefox, so the OS isn't really that important in that sense.
Supposedly going Win10 at work soon with Surface Pro 4, and can't say I'm looking forward to it......

Used Windows 7 since it came out and refused the upgrades to 8 and 10.
Need to run strong Antivirus programs to keep it clean (and fast)
Using Superantispyware and Malwarebytes, highly recommended to debug any Windows based machine.

I'm not knocking windows, really I'm not, but if after sales support is important to you it is there in abundance. And as you've probably discovered, if you really want to, you can take your apple kit to your local store to discuss your problem. I appreciate that past experience is important to you and naturally you are justly tempted to stick with what you know, I can understand that. I made the jump at aged 63. (And the people in this forum have been very helpful to me too).
