The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Hey, I've had a macbook for about 2 months, it has Leopard, 2 gigs of ram, and a 2.4Ghz processor. It's a blast to use, but so far I've just been using all the stuff that came with it, and I imagine there's some fun and useful free apps out there for aesthetics, functionality, whatever.
So in this thread you can suggest software to download and maybe a description of what it does, and I'll check it out. Thanks!

-Scrivener if you're a writer. (Trial is free, full product is not.)
-Adium for Instant messaging.
-HandBrake for DVD ripping.
-VLC Media Player for media playing. (Quicktime is good, this is better.)
-StuffIt for compression/decompression (I think this is free--at least, the decompression part is.)
