Some nice apps on there

Appfresh looks good, might have to give it a go

also TVShows looks interesting

Nice link.

When I first considered a Mac I was worried if I would be able to get all the software tools I wanted, with Apple having a vastly smaller user-base than Windows.

I wasn't worried for long.

Been using AppFresh for a while now - really handy app!

Also for those of you waiting on the Leopard version of Super Duper its here!

i know a lot of people have been waiting for super-duper to be leopard-ready... does it make a more accurate backup than disk utility? or maybe does it just do it faster?

apart from the scheduling, i don't really get it? someone put me straight cuz i'm sure there must be more to it

i have always used super duper just because its so handy... it creates a bootable backup that you can boot from if your drive fails. Does disk utility do bootable images too or just backups?

yeah they are bootable... maybe it is just that its handier... i'm havin a play at the mo with the free version and its quite nice but doesn't really do anything for me over DU... i'll give it a bit longer though and try a backup, maybe its quicker...

maybe its the smart backup option that overwrites the existing image with any changes rather than starting from scratch each time

Those would be great in the sticky, as a new user I relied heavily on the app list in the sticky as I was in uncharted water as soon as I hit the power button on my mini. It was invaluable in allowing me to keep up momentum making the transition from PC to Mac. I don't mind trying a few apps till I find something that I get along with but to have a list as extensive as those above to reference for the 'popular' choices makes life a lot simpler.

If you're like me and like to archive all your TV shows incase you have a sudden urge to watch them again, or you just like to organise; FileList

I would add this to the sticky, but there's no way to copy all the links

Good site though.
