Macbook software

Well after many waisted hours looking at sights like wfreeware and opensource mac I have finished (for now) getting all the software I need (a relative term!) for now. This includes:

AbiWord - open source word processor.
Adium - multi client instant messenger.
Celestia - a tool for exploring the universe from the desktop
ClamXav - anti-virus
Colloquy - IRC client
Cyberduck - FTP client
DivX Player - video player
Firefox - open source browser
Google Earth - a fantastic GPS tool and map
Hardware monitor - a temperature monitor for the macbook
iSync upgrade - for Nokia E61 compatibility
Mplayer - video player for everything VLC or DivX can't cope with
Quicksilver - after reading the raves about this I thought I would try it out but haven't had the time
RSS Owl - RSS reader
SyncTunes - to sync iTunes with my Nokia E61's memory card
Thunderbird - my girlfriend uses this for her email
VLC - yet another video player
StuffIt - zip utility

So, not an exhaustive list and by no means the best examples of what is available, just my personal favorites.

I am slowly catching up with the reading. I have to, my next lecture is on Saturday!
