Default The Big Switch (PC -> Mac)

Is this a big deal?

I'm thinking of doing it. I'm not concerned about operating the machine itself, but I don't know a damn thing about the "logistics".

Will I have to buy a different wireless router? Will my ancient Telus modem (don't ask, I have both) connect right to the machine and work?

Will peripherals that I currently use (printer, second monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse, speakers) plug right in?

It will be a laptop, but it will spend most of its time as a "workstation" here on the regular desk and I hope to just take all my stuff that's connected to my PC and connect it to the new gadget.

I am a stupid, impatient "man" and I will be making the switch reluctantly. If it takes several hours (or, heaven forbid, days) to straighten everything out, I'll just stick with the PC sitting under my desk and continue being the fatter guy in the commercials.

Most importantly, I want to spend as little time on the phone with my ISP provider. I'm sure I'll have to spend some time with them, but the littler the betterer.
