best apple programs?

[campimp]

Last month i finally jumped into the world of apple. bought a macbook pro, and i just love it, i never get on my other 2 computers anymore at all.

i have gotten adjusted pretty well, but now just curious if there are any programs out there that i really should check out.

what apple programs could you not live without?

I am transitioning much slower than you but I would love to see what other apps Mac users love as well.

Nice list btw DateDoc. I love Gimp on PC...

I keep thinking about buying photoshop but for what i need Gimp being open source works perfectly. I may buy aperture this week.

Aperture is a good program, but iPhoto does a good enough job.
You'll need Transmission for torrents

I also use iWork 09 but that's a paid program.

Why the fuck would you use a password management program when theres a built-in one in your system called keychain?

[digitaldivas]

Yeah, I have been on macs since 1997... Never had a virus personally
I started with a 6500 PPC and now have a 2Ghz Widescreen Crazy Beautiful imac.

Terminal! Learn to love it and take advantage of command line utilities :D

You will need VLC if you get Handbreak. Cyberduck is a FTP as well!

Cocktail is a good program to have.
