I hope this will be a smooth transition, or at least as smooth as possible. One minor question, my email goes through Outlook Express and I really dont know what I am going to do about that. Any simple solutions?

you'll find mac mail as a much better email client. It'll take some adjusting, especially with right click vs command click, and some programs that are one platform only, but I've found the ones I use the most (lightroom and photoshop) run much better on mac (with cs3, cs2 was not native to the intel chips)

apple mail is much more capable than thunderbird, especially now with leopard. keep in mind, this is built DIRECTLY into the operating system... you dont have to pay extra for it like microsoft makes you!

youre going to love your mac. its a very easy transition.

You can enable the right click from Sytem Preferences>Keyboard and Mouse. Click on the Mouse section and make sure that you enable the Secondary click on the right click button on the picture. If you have a third party mouse, it most of the time comes with the right click enabled.
I can't live w/o right clicking and I've been all Mac for years now.
