Learning financial modeling on Mac?

Hey everyone,

I just ordered the WSP financial modeling course, but I am not sure whether it would be a mistake to take the course on my mac?

Since most firms use PC, would you recommend getting hands on a PC for completing the course? Although I guess that most parts of the Excel stuff is completely the same on PC and Mac it seems a lot of the shortcuts and stuff is different between the two.

What are your thoughts? Would learning financial modeling with Excel on a Mac be a disadvantage?
