Re: Must have programs

Okay, here's some of my killer apps I could not live without in OS X.

Browser: Mozilla. Tabs - 'nuff said.
IM: Proteus. I like it better than Fire.
Email: Entourage. The only MS product I used.
IRC: Snak. BitchX was just a little too screwy in X.
FTP: Captain FTP. Arr, matey.

Other useful apps:
TinkerTool. Lets you customize the GUI a little.
Visage. Change the boot panel, dock poofs, etc.
ASM. Bring back the app switcher menu at the upper left.
TransparentDock. Customize your dock.

There are many many more good utilities for X out there, if I still had my Mac I could recall most of them too. I would also recommend reading this page:

»homepage.mac.com/megasad/ibookswan/

It documents one guy's first Mac purchase, an iBook, and details what he did to customize his Mac. Very well written and informative, plus lots of links to utilities and such and tips for optimizing your Mac OS X experience.
