It is getting time for me to once again replace my CPU. Though I have read the posts/threads on this forum regarding pros and cons of switching to the Mac world, I am still undecided. I would appreciate some opinions.

In the Mac world there seems to be several choices. I really have no need for a notebook/portable so the desk top seems to be my choice there. Now, there are the Mini Mac, iMac and iMac Pro. If I understand it correctly, the latter two are G5. Since my demands on the computer are limited to using it primarily for digital photography including Photoshop, wordprocessing and internet browsing/e-mail, and I have several thousand invested in applications, are most supported with the Macs? For example, will my Photoshop run properly on a Mac? Will PlanEASe analytical with Monte Carlo Simulation do likewise?

I do not use my computer for music and video compiliation so those are not features, at least at this time, that will sell me on the switch. I just need to know if deciding to move to the Mac world will cost me more in repurchasing applications I use and which of the desk models will replace my existing system.

I hope this is enough info to get the ball rolling.

Thanks,
Steve
