Things I like (after owning my PowerBook for a little over a year):

GeekTool (http://projects.tynsoe.org) - Great tool for doing misc things like showing a log file or a web graphic on your desktop w/o opening a browser.

MenuMeters - CPU, RAM, Processor, Network, and Disk throughput in your menu bar. I keep RAM, Processor, and network throughput

Fire and Adium - Free multiservice IM programs. If you are familiar with Trillian on the PC, these do the same thing. I was using fire. I am finding that I like Adium a bit more. Having one tabbed window for all of my IM conversations is really handy.

Carbon Copy Cloner - Donationware. Great application for making bootable backups of your hard drive to any external or network attached media.

Dock Extender - popup menus of applications or whatever from w/in your dock.

iterm - tabbed terminal windows if you are into doing the CLI thing (which I am)

Pathfinder - a neat finder replacement. I am still evaluating this one to decide if I'm going to register it or not

Hope this helps
