Desert Island Apps

I did a clean install recently, and the most noticeable missing app was TigerLaunch. It's definitely on my short list of required software.

I certainly can't fit everything in the dock, and won't drag the Applications folder there because I don't want the whole bloody thing to display. TigerLaunch lets me easily pick and choose which applications I want to make available from the menu bar - clean, quick (and free!)

(he he) Just went to the website from VersionTracker to grab the link, and saw that it's another fine Ranchero Software product. Thanks again, Brent!

So, I'd say my Desert Island Apps are:

Safari

GyazMail

NetNewsWire

TigerLaunch

Adium

BBEdit

Transmit

Watson

iTunes

Toast

Dreamweaver

Photoshop

PasswordWallet

SmartWrap

Default Folder

I didn't include any server admin apps, because if I'm deserted on an island I won't be working.

Unless I can get broadband :)
