I do most of my work (that's real, actual work, not just games!) on a computer, and there's a buttload of stuff to transfer over, in excess of 1TB. And then, of course, finding all the alternatives for programs, etc. But yeah, another week or two and the PC will join my vintage computer collection in the garage, right next to the Atari 800 and the Commodore Amiga (and it won't be as cool as either of those). I've got more to say, but I want to say it in my post, so look for that later today! I’m almost there, guys.

I recently visited Squidly and noticed two things when in his computer room. 1) how much quieter it was not that his old Windows machine is unplugged and 2) how much cooler it was as the space heater was no longer running. His old PC did function very well as an end table though - holding my beer as I watched TV. :) Make a list of all the things you still use the PC for and then work on replacing them with Mac alternatives.

Turn off that pc and hide the power cords. :) You're actually doing better than many switchers. It usually takes awhile to A) learn the Mac way of doing things and B) come to the realization that that way is better. Lots of switchers find themselves on their new mac machines trying to emulate old PC behavior. They end up fighting the machine rather than working with it. That goes away in time. Just do it, man.
