Just listen to Bender ;)
You can just search QBN for threads about best Mac apps, etc., and some things should come up.
I suggest Transmit and Coda
http://www.panic.comas well as Omni Group products
http://www.omnigroup.com/Azureus as a torrent downloader
I use iWork '08 for my word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation needs, but you can also use Microsoft Office or free Office-esque packages from online.

What kind of software are you looking for? What do you want to do w/ it?
Rip DVD's -- MacTheRipper
Burn DVD's -- Roxio Popcorn (maybe better programs, but that's what I use).Of course, Firefox for web browsing. I personally hate Safari.

The 17 isn't too big... I use mine as my only workstation. Got a big monitor and away we go. The hardest part is finding a decent carrying bag for the 17.
