Cheers RR.
Im just installing iWork. Do you know if I will have to change the file type before I move the documents to my iMac? Or will it automatically be compatible? :happy2:

....I don't know for certain but Macs generally rely less on the display of the file type. I think it's more reliable not to change anything also because the Mac OS will be programmed to help such Windows to Mac migrations because the Mac is the minority platform and needs to accommodate such moves. It's more typical of the Mac mindset.
Don't forget that you can get free phone tech support to guide you and also there are many help guides on the Apple site.
I strongly advise buying the full 3-year AppleCare warranty.

Right I have just moved everything across from my old laptop, currently just getting used to the controls and everything. It is really simple to use and has impressed me.
Now is there anything that is a must do to the iMac, programmes, settings etc. :happy2:

I'm not going to comment on programs and settings, but the first "must do" of Mac ownership is to pop round to your neighbours and let them know that you have a better computer than them!
:P
Welcome to the cult!

Actually, I will make some comments regarding programs, get hold of a program called Little Snitch, got to be one of my favourite MacOS applications:

Appzapper is quite handy too;

Also VLC...

...and Perian:

Both essential if you watch a lot of video.
