I have both systems. Word processing and financials are easier on a PC. Anything in the graphics (pictures, art, movies) way easier on a MAC.

Huh?

I won't argue with you, but I am curious what you might be trying to use for word processing and financials on the Mac that might be easier on the PC. I have been using MS Office Mac for several years, and have found it to be far more intuitive and usable than the equivalent Windows version.

As far as financials - I guess it really depends on what specific software you use...

I just do not like how MACs operate word processing. I find word to be very easy to use and operate through but not on the MAC.
I have several financial programs and for whatever reason when they are on the MAC there are small changes that confuse me to no end.
My husband is going to install a couple of word processing programs on my MAC to see if I can wean my self off PCs.

I really prefer the Mac version of Office. I have just convinced one of my friends to get a Mac and he is using the 2008 version of Office for what is essentially an Office class. The book for it naturally covers the Windows 2003 version. Helping him with it and showing him how it is different really highlights how much better the Mac version is.
