Just for what it is worth, most dslrs allow you to shoot raw and jpeg at the same time. If you are first starting out you would be wise to use that option. You can then compare both images side by side in your editor and see if you can improve on the jpeg by the edits you apply to your raw file. Think of it as a self teaching tool. As you editing improves you will probably start to shoot only raw.
I only print my own so am presently restricted to 13x19. It is all about control. The digital age allows us to control every aspect of our photos from inception to hanging on the wall. I am not going backwards. If I want bigger prints I will buy a bigger printer.
Cool kitty and remember that this is her absolute right.
F80<s were very good cameras with many pro features and can handle AF lenses. If you could find one of them you would have a decent film camera
If your moving up, move up. Even a refurbished D7000 will beat the others mentioned hands down. Of course when you move up you may have to consider better glass, also
Got an IMac 2 years ago. Did not care for iPhoto so went to Aperture. Never looked back. Since I do limited editing Aperture is perfect for me. Always try the help window which can answer many of your questions. But your best bet is one-on-one training direct from Apple.
I hav e had prints of 16x20 and 20x30 made at Sam's Club from my edit. They were not bad but finally decided that I am such a control freak that I only print 13x19's now on my canon Pro 9500 Mark II. If I finally need larger prints I will buy a larger printer. But hey, that's just me.
I always print on Ilford Pearl. Soft gloss. Just enough gloss to add highlight.
Canon? Canon? I thought they only made copiers.
There are various internet sites that have reviews of almost any lens. Just type in the lens description and add review to the end an you can find several reviews that could be very useful to you.

My d90 always worked flawlessly. Have moved up to the d7000 and find it to be a great camera. Right now, refurbished versions of the d7000 is a real bargain.
Nikon18-105 is a I good choice with that camera. Very reasonable, especially refurbished.
No, you are going to want Aperture. You should only need Photoshop if you are going to completely restructure a photo or are a professional photographer.
Aperture does every thing i will ever need and then some. But I do not do very heavy post processing. I do not favor extensive manipulation of my images. But to each their own
