Mac so far none, it all connects quickly.

I have more space/ram on my dell (doesn't feel like it though). In honesty, I just want to know from other mac users if they got their moneys worth

I also am a long time Mac user. I also used PC's where I worked, and retired from, for 24+ years 8>12 hours a day. Of the two I'll take a Mac price be damned it's that much better of a computing device.

Windows XP and the Mac OS X are very similar in how they work but that changed when Windows came out with nightmare Vista and now Window 7.

I really doubt that you'll want to go back to Windows once you give the Mac a chance to show you all it can do and the virus's and other crap that can't bother Mac in any way. That has always been a puzzle to me why Window's users put up with a system that REQUIRES the user to deal with all the crap they do just to use a computer. Mac's will never cause you to worry about much else except "what can I do with it next".

Enjoy your new Mac....you made the right choice IMO.

Just keep both, and fix the Dell. Once you have used the Mac for awhile, you won't go back to the Dell, and at that point you can sell it if you want.
