Fortunately, I've got some time to think this through and as my current system is working, I'm not in a big rush. In fact, Im going to be rather busy for awhile and I may wait a couple of months or so before making a move so that I have some time to work out any kinks when I do get a new system.

A few things I just want to note. Regardless of whether I buy a PC or a Mac, I anticipate buying a desktop, so we are probably talking an iMac on the Mac side. Also, I want to emphasize that the non-music functions of the system will be equally important to me, so I don't want to make a decision solely on that.

One thing that was brought to home to me today is the issue of a learning curve. I don't know, for example, how different BIAB for Mac is from the WIndows version, but something came up that has required me to put together some lead sheets in various keys pretty quickly. It's not complicated, but it would have been frustrating if I didn't know how to use the program. So I need to factor in some learning time if I make a switch.

Yes, it would be nice to hear from a few more Mac converts (or ex-Mac users) if they are out there.

Thanks all. This is all extremely helpful in my decision making process.
