Share your favorite Mac OS X software

Hi All,

A couple of items not mentioned, I think ...

DiskWarrior (commercial) Gotta have that in your tool box. General 'maintenance' and Rescue Crashed Hard Drives

OpenOffice is mentioned ... add NeoOffice & LibraOffice (sp?) . both FOSS

TextWrangler was mentioned ... Great to get into the guts of pref. files

Regards,

Jim

Well, most of my favorite apps have been names so I'll share some reference sites that I use to find and keep up with apps...

This is a great site for open source mac apps
http://opensourcemac.org/

App compatibility tracking:

Another large list of apps:

I'm not a big CNet fan but this is a decent site as well and probably better maintained than the others.
