That PDF plug-in does away with the most annoying aspect of Safari for me. Thanks a ton!

Sofa has just rocketed to the top of my list. This is an amazing litle piece of software. Blows every other iTunes remote/album cover display away. I've yet to have it grab the wrong album cover off the net. It could've done better a few times, like it grabbed the Japanse cover of a Nico album instead of the American once, but it's never picked the absolute wrong one.

Check it out.
I keep x-Tunes around for when I don't fell like using the mouse to skip tracks back and forth, but other than that, Sofa is the one and only iTunes add on I'll ever need.

Not counting stuff that came with Panther:
-TexShop (and by extension the Tex/Latex compilers, ghostscript, dvi2ps, ps2pdf, etc...)
-Bibcite (A little GUI for managing .bib files)
-gnuplot
-OpenOffice (I don't use it to make anything new, but for some reason peop-le still insist on sending me M$ Office files)
-UI Browser (Very useful for scripting the unscriptable, slightly nicer than the Elemenet Inspector which I also sometimes still use)
Hnorable mention:
-DesktopManager (I find myself using this less and less since Panther)
-HyperEdit (just started using this, I think it will get a lot of usage)

fugu - my favourite sFTP application. Since version 1.1 it is even better since i can use config. files for my ssh servers.
vlc - best way to watch quake movies or other movies found on the web.
rBrowser lite - the way the finder should be and a very good ftp-client. I mostly use it as ftp-client but from time to time it is quite useful to browse invisible folders.
SubEthaEdit - perfect for creating xHTML and CSS files and for the fast writing of small Java apps.
Dilo - German-English dictionary using leo.org as source. Quite essential for me on the web, or while reading the latest T. Pratchett book.
Good Apple Apps that come with Mac OS X (and that are underestimated):
Stickies - i really like that App, it's the best addition to the paper and pen piling up beside my Mac.
TextEdit - nice little word-processor, i really like the easy way to create rtf files and text files encoded in Unicode.
Preview - perfect for viewing the pictures i make. Since 10.3 it offers full screen viewing, thus making it useful.

Great little app
Be sure to pop up the calendar for easy browsing. The site has other interesting apps, too.
