One of the biggest changes for me with computing on the Macintosh has been the amount of PDFs I generate. The Mac OS allows any application to "print to PDF" which is an amazing feature for obvious reasons. That and these PDFs are all indexed by Spotlight makes it really handy to search for things that I've saved to my HDD for posterity.
Recently Mac OSX Hints covered a free "virtual printer" called CUPS-PDF, which basically takes a few of the steps out of "printing to PDF" and makes it even easier and faster. I've just installed this new "virtual printer" and can highly recommend it.
