Finder, Safari, Adium X, Folding@home, Mail, Stickies.
That's usually all I have open, and usually not Stickies--only if I need to remind myself of something. iTunes, TextEdit, and Terminal are the only apps in my Dock that aren't running.

Just surfing the web now... wow... how do you folks keep so many apps open? I'm almost worried. I was doing some web editing the other day and I had Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Word, Safari and iTunes open and Dreamweaver was lagging a bit (even when just editing text, nothing else was lagging)... I'm kind of worried. 1.5 GB of memory has to be enough... I'm not really a power user.

Well, note that Adobe products suck up memory like it's their job. Having iCal, Address Book, Mail, Preview, and TextEdit open at once uses virtually no memory (assuming they don't have windows open).

One reason...I spend time on the forums at Rivals.com, a bunch of college sports sites. The forum index pages render much faster in IE than any other browser I've tried. IE will render in a couple of seconds, whereas Safari at the extreme other end of the spectrum takes a full minute.
Finder, Cyberduck, Dashboard (which I don't really think should count, it's like saying "I'm running expose"), iChat, iTunes, Mail, Preview, QuickTime, Safari, and TextEdit.

Or more appropriately, like saying "I'm running the Dock." (more appropriate, since it actually is part of the Dock) The only thing though, is that Dashboard takes up a lot of real memory when in use, so it counts more in that regard.
