I've been using Macs since Mac Plus.
The last one I bought about 2006 was the first of the iMacs and mildly
regretted it because of its incompatability with PCs and shortage of soft-

The new ones do seem to be able to be able to use Microsoft Office for Mac. at least, so I ordered and paid for a new iMac Intel Tiger, rather than a
PC,

But possibly there is an even worse incompatability - with previous Macs! I had expected to able to use if not previous software, at least hardware.

Apparently the Canon printer I bought less than a year ago can't be used - and, indeed, it's not clear whether ANY of the printers listed in the Mac Store have drivers for the Intel Macs. My old Mac may be more compatible
with a PC than with a new Mac, or am I missing something?

Definitely NOT funny,
