| Re: Apple - Essential Applications Windows Media Components for QuickTime MacFUSE + sshfs iTuneMyWalkman AppleJack MacPorts Text Wrangler Desktop Manager Firefox (Safari's OK, but Firefox is better.) Red Pill Bombich Software (If you manage/deploy Macs) StartupSound.prefPane Keyboard Map for a UK PC style keyboard I wouldn't say any of them are essential. What you may consider essential someone else may consider a waste of disk space. |

| Re: Apple - Essential Applications David, from reading this/your other posts. Would I be correct in saying you are now a majority mac OS X user for your main desktop function ? It is Inevitable.....  |

| Re: Apple - Essential Applications ok, I only ask as its nice to guage someones feedback / comments from a known base line. eg: - my mac use is very limited to specific reasons, so me ranting and raving over it is different to you ranting and raving over it. Plus its nice to hear from a perspective of someone who's swapped core OS's. It is Inevitable..... |

| Re: Apple - Essential Applications I've just done a post about things I do and don't like I'm sure I will have a Windows PC again one day but so far this thing really does scream. A friend of mine from Intel got one at the same time as me, and he swore it wouldn't replace his main rig (for Email/MSN/'net etc....) and... well that changed this weekend. |

| Re: Apple - Essential Applications Not set it up yet - for one reason - I want to make OSX work. I am thinking if I end up with a Windows rig one day - it will be a seperate PC. |
