I still use our PC for certain applications. I have the Numbers application which I use on the Mac for reviewing an important spreadsheet I have, but I find that using Excel on the PC is still more efficient. Navigation is not as fast on the Mac side as I cannot arrow quickly from cell to cell as speech is generally not interrupted as is the case on the PC side with Excel and various screen readers. I still use Quicken on the PC and since we have an account that uses Outlook, I still get some of our e-mail there.
