A switcher's guide to OS X Software

I like this forum being a new Mac user and all, and as I learn I"m now finding myself answering questions from fellow newbies.....this is the best imho, cause not only can you learn, you can share right away with others who are in the same boat which is above all, cool.

Awesome, that was extremely helpful!

Indeed, I've only had my mac for a few months now, but I am now seeming to be on this forum answering peoples questions more and more... hmmm

This is perfect for a noob like myself... thank you!

Switcher's Guide, so far looks like a great tool. Thanks.

Thanks

That looks great - I just got my new iMac and I'm excited to move from Windows XP/Dell to iMac.

Mac Downloads

Wow!!! I am SO glad I visited this entry. VERY beneficial. Thanks SO much!

Thanks!

That's exactly what I needed to know. Keep that kind of info coming. It's funny that when you know what you need to know, you often forget how hard it was when you didn't know it--it just seems so basic, unless you don't know it. Again, thanks.

Here's a Free Suite CD with "the most useful free open source software applications packaged for Mac OSX."

I remember finding that switcher's guide (http://flernk.blogspot.com/2006/07/guide-to-os-x-software-for-switchers.html) forever ago. It was SO, SO helpful. Just wanted to throw that out there!

Some useful Mac Apps (possibly already covered)

Desktop Vibes - Start Fresh With Some Handy Apps

I like these sites for apps

Add your favorite mac apps to the list and see how they rank against the rest

I see this becoming a very nice resource for finding OS X apps in the future.

New to this board but not new to macs, however I'm always looking for useful software I may have overlooked. There's some **** good stuff in this thread and I'd like to thank all who have contributed. I was thinking about buying the new MS Office software before college started again, but now I'm gonna look into getting Pages instead since all I really needed was Word.

Goin to switch soon, just waiting for my new iMac Desktop.

mac apps

i am new to mac, where can i buy cool apps for mac on-line (any kind of apps: games, business, apps for math etc.)? THANK YOU

that was a really good idea to include this. thanks. helped me out.

I just bought a macbook, and this guide really helps!

What are the chances of getting the links in this guide to open in new tabs, so we don't have to navigate back and forth to the guide? Great guide!!
