I had always had a pc but it was getting old and weak. So we got a Imac and love it. True, you can't run all the same programs you had on the pc but they are old too. My Epson printer and scanner work on my Mac just fine. We still have our old pc "just in case" so I could if I need to use it with EQ if I ever get it. I do wish that all programs were compatible with both Imac and pc's
