I'm a New Apple Convert
I just got a new Apple Macbook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo this week to replace my old Sharp M4000 laptop (great Windows laptop btw). After just a few hours I can say that Macs ROCK!.
Some must download software for Mac users:
Adium - chatting
VLC - viewing media
Textmate - coding
Camino - browsing
iTerm - SSH
CocoaMySQL - GUI to mysql
Parallels Desktop - VM of Windows so I can test on IE
Toast 8 - creating and mounting ISO or data CDs
CoreDuo Fan Hack - bump you fan up to 3000 rpm to make your notebook cooler
Then of course the normal production software:
Office 2004 and Adobe CS2.
For web presentations I had to switch from GoToMeeting to GatheringPlace which supports Macs. GatheringPlace is also a cheaper :)
