O.P. RE: Should I buy a Macbook
SO... I went ahead and bought one :). So I am posting again, to see if you guys have any recommendations for apps.

Right now I have:

Bento
Frostwire
Messenger for Mac
iWork '08
Coda
Transmit
AppZapper
VLC
Firefox
Pixelmator
Flip for Mac
Little Snitch
Quicksilver
Transmission
UnRarX
The Unarchiver
Toast 9


The one thing I am really unhappy about is something that parallells uTorrent for mac :(... The one feature that I miss the most is the multiple tracker support. If you guys know of a lightweight client that supports multiple trackers, please let me know.

Does it handle file conversions properly?

The real reason I'm trying out Toast is because of it's file converter. Disco seems like a nicer app overall though.

If you guys can think of a good file converter app, let me know.

wow voldemort you really added to the subject there didn't you.

I can't think of any other apps you might want really, other than office 2008 and Adobe Master Collection, but then I'm into my artsy things.

Possibly you'll want Microsofts remote desktop client beta, AMSN beta and Adium.

I have office 2008 (free via school :)) just hesitating to install it that's all and I do have RDC installed :).

The other thing is, does anyone know of any reason as to why my caps lock light works but my numlock light doesn't?

Not too sure where the numlock light is on MacBooks, maybe it's just dead?
