                      OS X Software I use every day

                      Office 2008 OSX (Yes hate MS like everyone else but office works well)
                      Adobe Creative Suite
                      BBEdit
                      Fetch (best ftp client for the mac)
                      Stickies (comes in your apps folder - invaluable)
                      Skype
                      Adium (my fave IM client)
                      Firefox with Foxmarks (lets me keep bookmarks synced everywhere)

                                          How about Parallels - a windows emulator - lets you run all those apps that you cant run on OSX... I had way too many programs that I missed from my windows computer - and now I can run them on my mac!

                                                  Slush is a video thumbnailer, it's still in beta, search for Slush on GFY and i guess you can find the programmer to request a beta. Really cool software.

                                                      R-name - for renaming batch files, this is the best
                                                      I-view - trust me, you need it for work files, like iphoto but with batch changes/edit/rename features
                                                      Fetch- Best FTP client, although I end up using other slower bulkier clients like netfinder and cyberduck if I need to open a bunch of windows at once or anything in bulk like setting permissions.
                                                      TuneUp Great itunes add-on for cleaning your library up and auto adding covers and stuff

Much closer to FlashFXP for the PC which is bar-none the best FTP client ever created. I've been trying to find a decent FTP client for Mac. Filezilla was the best I had found so far. I don't understand all the love for transmit. I can't stand it.

I had way too many programs that I missed from my windows computer - and now I can run them on my mac!

I just never had that F4M watermark appear before. It did it when i useed sorrenson to convert a wmv to a flv ... one time thing .. very odd . other then that I've been cutting, converting wmv's without any porblems ...
