I’m totally going to try Hear – because I’m on a Macbook and wonder if the speakers are giving me the best sound. Also may try Wallet. I’m reached the point with 16 blogs and multiple paypal accounts and every other membership under the sun, that I am losing track of what passwords go with which location.

Thanks!

Acquisition I’m not familiar with because I don’t to P2P anymore, and have no use for it. Chax I don’t use because I prefer Skype for audio/video chats.

CS3 – spot on. I couldn’t do what I do without it. InDesign CS3 in particular is a godsend to me, for my book layouts. The first book I ever did was in MS Word, and it was *horribly* laid out.

I use Pages and Numbers, and I think they get somewhat of a bum rap. I like them both, and like them better than MS Office and Open/NeoOffice.

I’ve heard good things about Cyberduck, but I use Yummy FTP because I got a good deal on it and it’s a great program.

Audio Hijack Pro, awesome. I’ve only used it a few times, but it’s quite powerful and definitely worth the cash if you do a lot of recording.

The last three on your list I haven’t used. A few of my favorites:

DragThing – an app launcher.
Ecto – for blog management.
OmniFocus – for project management.
Parallels – for running Windows on my Mac (rarely need it, but it’s good to have).
Wallet – for password management.
Snapz Pro X – the best screenshot/screencast app around.
Hear – if you’re on a Macbook and you’re not using Hear, you’re not hearing the best sound possible from your machine.

Those are some of my favorites. Great topic
