Just ordered my new 15" MBP i7! Yipeee. Fed Ex tells me it's in Anchorage, on it's way to me from China. Not that I am checking every hour or anything....

Anyway, this is my first Mac in about 20 years. I am happy to be rid of my Dell but need help with any important utilities or other cool software that I should purchase/download for my new device. I bought the 24" monitor and the magic mouse as well as the larger keyboard. I have a Wacom tablet that I will connect also.

I do a lot of photography as a hobby and just ordered CS5. I also have the MS Office suite. Waiting for Lightroom 3 to come out. Otherwise I do basic word processing, spreadhseets, and newsletter design type work.

I would love to have some other suggestions for software either related to my photography hobby or just in general (cool utilities, screen savers, etc).

Thanks for any and all help!
