As for applications, I would recommend Quicksilver to everyone. VLC is a great video player that can handle anything Quicktime can’t. Adobe AIR is great too- that’s a framework to run tons of AIR applications.
I second the VLC option. Also, I couldn’t be without iWork! Keynote, Pages and Numbers are a must if you use your machine for work or school.
A thing that became very useful to me is iStat menus. It is a usefull application that sits in your menubar and tells you anything you want to know about your mac. (cpu, disk usage, temp, memory, etc.)
I also definitely think quicksilver is a must. http://Blacktree.com
HandBrake is a very nice DVD ripper that many mac users adore. :)
i would say definitely get the chax plugin for ichat, i really like the log viewer to look at old conversations in ichat.
handbrake for sure
i however, have to disagree on the quicksilver. i had it and i never found it very helpful. it could be that i was just not using it correctly but i really think if you have your computer set up the way you like it you can find an access the things you need much faster than quicksilver can. i never thought it was very good
Sorry about that PupnTaco
No worries, E – there are some other great ideas in those threads.
