Today one my friends became a switcher, thanks to a new Macbook
One of the first things to do was of course to send him links of some of the things I consider essentials to any OS X user:
- Most basic widget (I don't get why apple doesn't ship such widget...) iStat Pro
- Codecs :) for that I use Perian and Flip4mac
- Instant Messaging is brought to you by Adium aka "the duck"
- File Transfer (FTP,SCP) is another duck's business: Cyberduck
- Re coding your multimedia files? You better pull your HandBrake
- With so much multimedia around the house you better get it all Deliciously sorted
- Which you can then brag about in IRC using Colloquy
- Since life is not just about fun you can use neoOffice to get some work actually done
Of course some other friends like to include:
- Quicksilver is top of the list (flame me for not understanding how big deal it is)
Of course, if you think I’m missing something… don’t forget to leave a notice in the comments ;)
