I've just replaced my old PC the new one had Vista preinstalled ??? ??? ???

However at 67 yrs of age I find I am enjoying the Pc far more than when using XP.

Of course this is only one persons view, many run down Vista, but speak as you find I like it despite myself.

My OH is just back from a trip away so I asked him for any advice.

I know you've said you're staying with Windows but he suggests looking at the Apple Store site

http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore?cid=AOSA30000023936

and look at the "Go beyond Vista" information. 

There's also a Surrey Mac User Group - www.surreymug.org/

It would be good to have a try on a Mac before the final decision is made and MUG members would be able to answer your questions about compatibility.

Enjoy your new computer - whatever you choose,
Monica

(And, before a Windows fan says it, I'll point out that the Surrey Mac User Group's acronym is indeed SMUG!)
