the funkship has landed, baby

Hello citizens of the universe,

Like 2 weeks ago I asked about what computer was right for me. well, I got a macbook pro, (it's freaking amazing, by the way) and I was wondering, if there are any free downloads you would consider an essential download!
Or at least something that makes your computing experience oh so much more fulfilling.

Congratz on your new computer. A few programs that i enjoy are Adium(IM), OnyX(repairing & cleaning) and VLC player(watching videos in a plethora of different formats.

I consider stuffit expander an essential download.

Here's a previous post on this subject that has a lot to offer: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105846&highlight=onyx

Enjoy your MBP, great machine.
