If you stay with a windows machine I wood bet that your sound card will
need to be replaced. Creative is not real good about updating older
cards for Windows 7. I'm not sure about windows 8 either. I tried to run
Writelog on windows 8 (beta) one time but it would not run. I have a
fresh load of windows 8 on a laptop but have not tried it on there yet.
I can't comment on the iMac.

I am considering upgrading my ancient computer to either a Windows 7/8 machine
with onboard sound card or an iMac. What problems will I have with either
choice?
My present setup is IC-756PROIII, writelog, micro-Keyer from microHAM, creative
SB sound card, windows XP sp3 (dell) computer.
I normally work RTTY and SSB. use writelog, Prolog, mmtty and Digi-pan.
What problems do each present. I know the windows machine is less expensive,
but I am getting tired of keeping anti-virus software up to date, upgrades etc.
