Actually there are a few genealogy programs for the Mac. It used to be
that Reunion was the only one. It is probably still the most popular.
Now, though, there is iFamily and MacFamilyTree that come to mind
easily, both of which are very good programs. There are other programs
available as well, if you do a Google search for them.
Also, as Cheri posted, you can run Parallels or VM Fusion on your Mac.
That, along with a legal copy of Windows Operating System, will allow
you to run a PC from within your Mac. Very cool! Then, you can run
your favorite PC genealogy program, if you have one, but still use the
Mac for everything else. If all of that seems like too much trouble
and/or expensive, you have several options with the Mac. Reunion also
has a free demo that allows you to try it before you buy it.
So, there ARE options. Good luck with your switch. I hope you enjoy
your Mac as much as I do mine!!
