I bit the bullet this week and purchased a 14inch ibook. My first

OSX and I would like to know what utilities and extra software that
people
would recommend.
This is a HUGE topic, since there are thousands of choices, and just
as many of favourites.
For me, I must have Default Folder, QuickSilver (this, despite
Spotlight) and GraphicConverter as a minimum. Make it a practice to
visit http://www.versionTracker.com regularly. This is a great
repository for all that is current in Mac (and Windows!) software, be
it commercial, freeare or shareware. You find everything you need.
I have made myself a promise that no microsoft software will go
onto this
machine (I get enough of it at work).
Also what good system repair software is there - I use to live by
Tech tools
and would now love a replacement.
DiskWarrior is still the leader here, I think.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also any software or hints for ipod mini's?
Everything you need should be on your Mac. If not, it will be on the
CD that came with your iPod. Also, run Software Update after
installing any of it.
