coda is a great coding program for websites.
azureus is good for torrents or transmission.
transmit is good ftp.
vlc for videos.
quicksilver for accessing.

There's another tread, 'cool osx apps' I think I was called, but it wasn't on the first two pages when I looked. Lots of treasure in these threads.

I'm patiently waiting until January 14th to see if new Macbook Pros are announced. Been saving the money and would love to get one today but I think I can hold out. Just bought an 80 gig ipod classic last night to find out it doesn't work with Windows 2000. Sucks! I may as well hold on to it and wait until I have a new computer to do this.
One question -Can anyone advise on the best way to transfer PC fonts to Mac? I don't know that much about it, but is it true that there are programs that convert them? Can you explain this? I don't want this to be a nightmare.
Really looking forward to having a laptop foremost, but I think I'll enjoy making the switch.
