Hey guys just got a new mac not my first but gonna start using this one more than i did with the old one.

Anyone recommend any good software, tools whatever to download.

Doesnt have to be webmaster related, just the good stuff

Let me know as i love fiddling with stuff and got some spare time to play with it

HaRRo,
I use Transmit for FTP, Transmission for torrents, Colloquy for IRC, BBEdit for most code and text editing, Dropbox for file syncing, KisMAC for wireless watching, StuffIt for archiving Peak Pro for audio editing, Toast for mounting images and burning, VLC for watching movies, TurboTax for taxes, OpenOffice, and Xslimmer for tweaking.

CrossOver, Peek-a-Boo, and Little Snitch are also pretty nice.

Couldn't have said it my better myself. All of the essentials.

HaRRo,
What else are you looking for?

Hey Harro, Mac is the platform I use for all my work in web design and programming, but if you want to have the best of both worlds, use Parallels Desktop to run XP virtually. You can have both Windows and Mac Programs side by side. To be honest, I do have XP on parallels and it actually runs faster then running on native mode.

I have a Hackintosh (MAC running on Intel Hardware) custom built and it works great!!!
