Cool OSX Apps?

[Sane404]

Getting my Macbook tomorrow and I'm just wondering if you guys could suggest some fun/cool little apps for it.

Cheers

It all depends on what you define as "cool". Are you referring to system utilities, graphics, networking, etc....

More importantly, those applications which are freeware, shareware or otherwise?

Safari

Comic Life

Fetch

Transmit

Handbrake

KisMAC

Path Analyzer Pro 2.0

Stuffit Deluxe

CandyBar

CleanApp

IPCalculator

MyNet

Pixadex 2.0.2

Shapeshifter

and there is more, but here is a start at least.

Enjoy. Since purchasing my Mac some time ago, it has not disappointed. In fact, I am in the market for a MacPro dual 3.0Ghz unit with the 30" Apple Cinema Display. I almost have all of the money.

Yeah I realised I was being a bit broad with that term, cheers anyway. I'll check them out.

Ooh btw, whilst I'm here, does anyone know if you can download more effects for Photo Booth?
