Hey man, sorry to hear about your experience there. I got my first mac last year after almost 20 years of pc use and it did take a few hours to get used to, but I can tell you I spent much longer than that trying to get used to Win95 and XP when that first came out. (I've tried dealing with Vista, and hoping I never have to fully get rid of XP)

At first I was definitely going to dual boot and run Windows on the mac, but after using it for a bit and finding some programs comparable to the windows ones I used, I decided against it - at least until I upgrade to a larger HD. I still use my PC with my old copy of Dreamweaver and Photoshop on it, but if I didn't do any gaming and like to build my own PCs occasionally - I'd probably be a full time mac user.

It might be just my experience - but overall I'd say the Mac is more reliable and less troublesome with hardware and software than any of the pc's I've used.

P.S. There are some great sites out there regarding switching to a Mac from PC, and you'll find dozens of books at the book store.
