Here are some of my favorite freeware apps.

Adium: Adium is just a free chat client, no advertisements, you can have many types of accounts. (AIM, ICQ, MSN, Jabber, GTalk, etc etc.) Its a small program, easy to use, and you can download themes and stuff.

Camino: Firefox for mac, isn't as good as firefox for windows. It tends to be slower, and just not as good as camino. Anyways.. Download camino, a really sleek web browser.

Itunes: Everyone knows what itunes is. its simply the best music manager for mac.

Those are mine. Post yours with links.

Wow. I feel like such a leech. Such a user. Please forgive me.

It's honestly not that (a) I don't use IM services and have no use for Adium (but have had Adium on my hard drive for a couple years now just in case the mood ever strikes [it hasn't yet!]); nor that (b) I've been using Firefox for years already without your recommendation; nor that (c) iTunes shipped with every version of Mac OS since January 9, 2001.

Really. It has nothing to do with any of those things. I'm just being a leech. And we, as a group, are totally abusing your largesse.

In order to make some sort of recompense, here are some of my own suggestions... TextEdit, Sherlock and ResEdit.

Yes, I'm playing with you. But, really, what's with the attitude and the name-calling? Did someone ask you to post your favorite "must have" applications and then didn't follow through with an offer to provide (working) links to their own favorites? Perhaps a breach of contract suit against the individual is more befitting than a blanket epithet?

Okay, just to assuage the ire that I'm sure my entirely (to this point, at least) tongue-in-cheek post is going to raise, some of my favorite free Mac-related things are Dashboard widgets. You can find all sorts, for free, at this location.

Have fun.

Hey thanks for posting your favorite free apps! I don't have an apple computer so I don't have
any free apps to post. I have been lurking about because I'm about to make what I consider a sizeable investment in a next generation bleeding edge type and Iv'e yet to decide whats it.

Best Regards

Taco HTML editor is a nice simple text based html editor. VLC video player is also a good freebee. VLC will play a lot of video formats that quicktime won't.

Why is this thread still even here? Nothing worth having is free. Take that to your grave.

If you're in to music and have a bunch of mp3 files that need tags, ieatbrainz is going to be your dream come true. That's probably the only freeware I use, otherwise the shareware apps I use regularly are Transmit, which I love. Spy and Nicecast are fun to play with and I've registered both but I don't use them that much, though spy is really useful sometimes when you are trying to demonstrate something. Oh yeah and I guess I play ******* a lot and that is a freeware game so I guess that counts.
