A Mac is much easier to use than a pc. I'm on my second Mac and would NEVER go back to a
pc. And NO, the adjustment wasn't hard at all. My Mac has MS Word and Excel, both which run
without problems. Everything is easier with a Mac.

You can buy a reconditioned/used Mac at most Apple or Mac stores. The new ones are
pricey, but the used all come fully reconditioned and ready to use.

Mac vs. PC?

That said... Definitely do a backup! Does your pc have a file called GOBACK? If so, you'd be able to
restore your pc to the time before your troubles began.
