And of course Paparazzi! which is very handy as it takes a full length screen shot of any URL regardless of what is visible and such.

What's so great about Yahoo! Widgets? OS X widgets are fine...

I tried Taco Edit for a minute, but the icon made me stop using it.

WMV Player for QuickTime is awesome. 30 bucks.

Web Radiance is a message board formed from some old webforumz users. Check it out nice website, not as busy as webforumz, but kind of cool.

I only use skEdit myself, sometimes CSSEdit for really complex CSS files because its organization, structure and code navigation is just very easy and elegant. Just providing choices mainly.

Re: Favorite/Useful Mac Apps

I've never used CSSEdit. I feel old for saying it, but I like skEdit because it's just a souped up tekst editor.

Unskyld, jeg er lite full.

skEdit is the pwnage. But CSS Edit makes it very easy to navigate long CSS files etc which is the only reason I bought it. Usually just do it in skEdit thoug.

Re: Favorite/Useful Mac Apps

Oh yeah, I've been to Web Radience before. I don't think I'm a member, though. I'm just a single text editor guy. I use TextEdit (the Mac version of Notepad) once it a while, I don't know why.
