Hey Scott, Welcome & don't feel alone. The reasons you stated & the, basically, yearly upgrade fees for JAWS were what led me to switch to a mac several years ago. I'm on my second one now, as my first was a hand-me-down from my wife. While nothing's perfect, it's, still, quite a thrill to walk into the Apple Store or Best Buy & start playing with the demo Macs, just like everyone else. When you're ready to purchase, be sure to check out the refurbs that Apple offers. Also, you can occasionally find a great deal on an open-in-box @ Best Buy. But again, welcome to the list.
