My PC is a bit long in the tooth, has loads of software on it, and is getting very, very slow. So slow, in fact, that I have been considering upgrading to a newer, and faster model. I'm not a great fan of PCs (Windoze), and for many years was a member of the Acorn owners club. I found the user interface and the software generally more intuitive than Micrsosoft, and the platform more robust, less prone to crashes etc.
Alas, Acorn is no longer an option, but Apple is. I had a look today at iMacs, and have to admit that they look very impressive, and the software seems stable and fast. The only downside is that they are much more expensive than the equivalent-spec. PC.
Does anyone have a lot of experience with them, and if so, can you recommend moving platform? Would there be difficulties with retaining my internet provider, for example, (btinternet.com) or is it straightforward to transfer my account to an iMac? How easily do Word and Excel files translate to the platform? My main use is for internet access (this forum and banking, mainly), email, word processing, image processing/storage and audio storage. I am not into gaming or anything like that so don't need powerful graphics cards.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
