My top five are all Apple products:
Number one-iLife- it's the best multimedia suite you can get (conmes with many Macs)
Number two-Appleworks-eaiser than Office, but need a major ugrade ( 6.x series-is about 3 years old)
Number three :Safari
Number four: Final Cut Express-cheaper than the Final Cut pro
Number five- .Mac (fee based wevb serrvices-has a utility software-backup and virus scanner-better than the iTools it replaced)

Oooh, there are so many...

Well here's my top 5 (in no particular order 😉)
1. Adobe Photoshop 7: You just can't beat it.
2. Macromedia Dreamweaver MX: It's incredibly powerful and insanely easy to learn.
3. Microsoft Office X: Still the standard, and a damn sight better than anything Microsoft's ever produced on either side of the fence.
4. Roxio Toast Titanium: It's simply a must for any sort of advanced burn, and it won't hurt your wallet too badly.
5. Ambrosia's Escape Velocity Nova: This is a fun little 2D space shooter that never seems to get old.

There you have it, my friend. A little slice of goodness straight from my dock. Hope this helps! 🙂

Don't buy Office X unless you absolutely have to.
OpenOffice for OSX is still in beta, but it's free and I haven't had any problems with it.

compatibility with word docs are much better with Office or AppleWorks than OpenOffice. Darby, if you're a beginner don't use OpenOffice you're gonna be so frustrated...just wait until the final version comes out.
(btw i forgot to say hi...i'm a girl too😀)
