I'll kill IE as soon as i have worked out how to actually install something.

But i shall bare that in mind to look for a book for someone that is switching, thought i have been going through the help files on the mac web site and they are quite comprehensive so i might be brave and just use those but that won't be much use while on the big silly floaty things.

I can also see from all the sudden answers i am not going to be without any guiding hands on macs around here. Thanks to everyone.
