Good morning,

I thought I'd add to your list of must-have Mac apps a few that I have found useful. Made me realize that I've got way too much installed on this machine and I may re-image as you've done yours.

Utility
TechTools - saved my bacon more than once!

Production
Seashore for quick drawings
Inkscape for vector graphics
GIMP for professional image editing

Mindmapping
Freemind
CMap

Emulation
Fusion - running Windows XP & Ubuntu

Players and converters:
VLC
Real PLayer with Real downloader
Handbrake
Macthe Ripper - although I may get iRip
Flip4Mac
Silverlight
Flash / Shockwave

Browsers
I use different browsers for different accounts:
Firefox
Safari
Chrome
Opera

Readers
RSS Owl

Screen capture
Jing
Skitch

I was using combine pdf but I can combine pdf's with preview. Drag and drop the pages into a new document, move them around and save. Works great!

Hope there's something here useful to you.
