I recently destroyed our computers hard drive & lost only a handful of images, fortunately I had everything else backed up on an external hard drive. My wife decided that since everything else of ours was lost it was time to switch to apple. I have heard that their photo editing software is as good as photosho(?),. My main questions are...can the external hard drive be plugged in and all my images available to work with on the Mac, or will I need to do something else and if so, what. Thanks for any help

In the normal course of things, if the files are not encrypted with some Windows-specific program, you should just be able to plug it in and read the files off of it. The HD should be useable on a Mac.
I don't know that the software is better (excepting the OS) - for the most part, most of us use the same old Adobe programs as on Windows. The Mac versions do tend to have a more "Macish" interface, which many of us find preferable. At the least, it's prettier ;)
Good on the back up.

It depends on how you did the backup. If you used Windows backup or some of the third party backup programs that use their own formatting, you can't just transfer them. However, you can transfer them to another PC and just copy them onto the backup drive if that is the case.
The photo editing software is the same, except for the Apple-only Aperture, which is not nearly as widely used as Adobe software, doesn't have the same learning community and user base. Regardless of platform, you should look at Lightroom if you are editing significant volumes of photos. Macs do offer significantly better color management and have other niceties to their software.
