  1. Windows
I have lots of Excel VBA applications developed on PC for the Windows platform (over the past 20 years).
I have lots of trouble recently after Windows update - system very very unstable.
I am thinking of ditching the Windows completely, and move all my development to iMac.

Question:
1. Can Excel VBA be ported to iMac?
2. If I continue to develop applications on iMac, will these applications run on Windows?

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Mac does not support ActiveX, nor the Dictionary object and there recent versions make creating a userform a huge headache.
And any API calls won't work either. Plus the file structure is very different.
