I use Safari via VNC from Plan 9 for web browsing (we do after all have networks nowadays, so we don't have to run everything in one machine). page(1) reads PDF. The rest of the above list seem to me to be mostly bling, symptoms or check-list items. In a pinch, my Mac Mini makes a fine multimedia processor. I have no interest in most of the other items (spreadsheets!?), and actively dislike others (RDBMs). Somehow the lack of these things hasn't been a problem.
