Woot!!!
I finally have a "work" laptop, which is a wonderful new 12" Powerbook.
Has anyone ever done this "copy your data from one Mac to another" thing that the OS guides you through in the beginning? I love the idea of copying over my keychain and whatnot, but I do plan to make a bunch of changes in the config, especially to my email (right now I'm running 3 diff. email apps (don't ask why!) and I want to merge back to mail.app for work on my work Mac.)
I'm making a list of apps to add to it. Here's my first draft.
Any suggestions?
Adium
Coconut Battery
Desktop Manager
Ecto
Freemind
Macstumbler
Realplayer (don't love it but is there anything else)
Skype
SnapNDrag
SubEthaEdit
StuffitExpander
Thunderbird
Camino (Boris, you were right, Camino is damn fast)
Firefox
VLC
X-Chat Aqua
If you have .mac you can also just synch a bunch of settings to the new computer (includes keychain, mail accounts, etc...)
A few app suggestions:
Quicksilver (I couldn't use my computer without it at this point)
MailTags (the developer lives around the corner from me and we've already exchanged some VERY good ideas... expect good things...)
Yeah Camino is gaining fast. Mozilla goodness, mac style.
There's one more app coming very very soon.. but I am sworn to secrecy... ;)
quicksilver - a cross between a app launcher and bash shell completion - but much more than either: http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/
I did a similar list a while ago (clickthru on my name to get there directly).
Compared to yours:
- colloquy for IRC
- BitTorrent for downloads
- IE for Mac because some stupid sites just don't work without it.
- Growl because it integrates so nicely with everything
- DarwinPorts because "port install foo" is a lot easier than just about anything else you'd do.
