    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.

    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 ?

    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.

    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.

    you need to grow a huge wirey beard, wash alot less, get a jumper with elbow patches and make sure you collect as much splash-back in the urinal's as possble, cos you won't smell of wee otherwise.
