Some of the specific questions and concerns we have is with peripheral devices like printers, external hard drives and data files stored on flash drives and portable HDD’s. Will our PC data files (i.e. word documents and photos) work on an iMac?
You will be able to access all of your old data, but you may have to buy extra "conversion" software. Also, don't expect to be able to go back and forth seamlessly for the one format to another.

We understand the iMac will be a chunk of change and we plan to spec it for RAM and processing speed to be higher then our current needs. Any input on that would be helpful.
I have been using computers of one kind or another for over 40 years. Multiple different OSes, etc, etc. Never used a Mac except for a few minutes. I have always been impressed with both their hardware and software, but I just can NOT bring myself to pay the BIG PREMIUM price !!
