Colloquy
Frostwire
VLC

Firefox Plug ins that are essential:

Hyperwords - This one is amazazing. You highlight a word or phrase and can google it or define it look up it's price per share if it's a broken link go to that page in new tab example expedia.com instead of www.expedia.com you can blog it twitter it. A lot of cool things.

AdBlock Plus - Block ads. I"m still on a 56k and I have way better things to do than download a bunch of ads for crap I'm not going to buy.

DownThemAll - This is a must have.

P.S. I just formatted and reinstalled myself over the weekend, runs super fast and smooth now. Me so happy

I was going to reinstall this weekend but instead decided to delete 25GB worth of games I don't play much anymore, defrag and look into each running process to remove stuff I don't need. Seems to have helped a lot!

vim and irssi

ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS: PHOTOSHOP CS3, A BUNCH OF 3D RENDERING PROGRAMS, A BUNCH OF CAD PROGRAMS

I like it, but then I only use Outlook and Visio, and Word on rare occasion. Outlook 08 is actually quite nice; I wouldn't want to use email any other way. Most people I know tend to like 08 after they get beyond the "omg wtf ribbon" phase though.
