This all seems a little bit surreal to me.
Should it all be legitimate, get your ass down to new Apple Store, have a chat behind the genius bar and sort out your problems.
Look, you can't switch to a new platform, expect everything to be exactly the same and not even give it a chance to FIND new programs, and overall if you do spend time getting to know your new computer you'll be more productive.
Come on, give it a chance. You think of all the people that have switched and swear by it. Co-incidence? Or do you think we're all brand obsessed nutters? *Cleans apple badge*
I agree - dont sit here and complain, be proactive - you cant get anything fixed if you dont go and get it fixed.
The PowerBook is a powerful tool - Ive had them since they weighed 20 pounds. There are many, many applications out there- consider moving to another application within Mac OS X itself?
Mac OS 9 was declared EOL a long time ago.. There was a reason - progress.
As for your printer - whats going on? Is it in a hub? 90% of the time, that is what slows down printing. Do you have the newest drivers?
As for Mac OS X - Did you keep the system up to date? Did you run Software Update? (Apple Menu -> Software Update) Apple creates them for a reason.
Dont fret, be proactive - look how many people respond... your part of a huge family, only getting bigger.
