I recently defected to Mac, well for home use, and I'm still scratching my head on a couple items.

Granted I'm not using a Mac keyboard but I can't get the ALT-Select to work. I'll have to google it.

iPhoto. Supposedly the *intuitive* picture tool. Hummm. I have all pictures organized into folders by type (family pictures, cars, work, etc...) and then deeper by date or event on the hard drive. So...I import the directory and get a Library organized by event and photos thats completely haphazard. Now I have car pictures and kids pictures mixed under a 2005 October event...??? WTF? I spend 2 hours (4K pictures) manually putting stuff into iPhoto albums. My next issue is getting pictures ready for internet posting. In Windows XP I had a nifty right click "Resize pictures" tweak UI tool installed. Made resizing single/multiple 5 MP pictures a one step process. How is this done in iPhoto?

Admittedly I like the cover flow option for browsing pictures. I'm sure this is mostly a *drink more coolaid* sort of situation but for someone reasonably comfortable with modern technology this Mac stuff is not all the intuitive.
