I have had PC's for years. Now I have a MAC. I love it. SOmeone said they can't download embroidery designs for their Janome machine on their Mac. I do it all the time. Not sure I would ever go back to a PC. I had questions and my Mac was acting a little bit funny. You can take your Mac to the genius bar for free at a MAc store for this. Yes some of the programs don't come in a Mac version. You can partition your computer and install Windows if you want. The software to do this comes on a Mac(at least on moine). Not a clue how to do it.
