Lisa's school uses Macs, she has an' i book' & 'i pod' (?). I need to
find out how to transfer her MS stuff from her old laptop.

yep, they claimed it would fix some issues with XP.
The bad news is it didn't fix anything as far as I can tell.
The worse news is it made a whole load of new problems.
God I had MS.
My next laptop will be a MAC (not to be confused with a MAC).

He could always get SoftPC, but I don't recommend it.

The computer science teacher I work with told me so. He has been trying to
convince me to go Mac for years, and says there are no worries about all my
Microsoft programs and data working on the Mac.

Huh????????? No way. In fact, that's one of the nice things about the
Mac environ. It doesn't lend itself to the viruses that plague PCs.

I've seen him running windows programs on his mac. You can't do that? Not
even Office?

There is only one way to run Windoz programs on a Mac... with SoftPC
or similar... Microsoft makes a program also.

However, Microsoft makes Office for the Mac environ.

The data is the same on both systems.

yes, I'm reading that now at http://www.apple.com/myths/
here's some of it:
"Contrary to popular belief, Mac and Windows get along perfectly together.
They run the same software. They talk to each other. It's a small world
after all."
