Unfortunately Brian, your email is not too helpful: "Safari is a joke" - because it won't deal with one specific web page or have you wider issues? If so, what are they?
In what way that you don't like, is iPhoto "controlling your image files"? As far as I remember, according to Apple, Time Machine can restore a backed up system ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15216.html ), but I've never had the need. Individual files have been retrieved simply and quickly. Someone else here probably has more experience... "Preview is a joke" - could you explain? Having to search for Mac program equivalents is just one of those things that should be expected, unless it's something obvious like MS Office, Firefox, Photoshop etc. If you'd owned a Mac and had switched to a PC you would be saying exactly the same thing. It's the way of the world. If you can give us an idea of why so many programs are "a joke" then we may be able to help you learn them or work around issues that are problematic for you or suggest alternative applications that may be suitable.
