Mac rocks. I'd recommend a few little widgets including MenuCalendarClock for putting the date on your toolbar http://www.objectpark.net/mcc.html and DoubleCommand for shift-backspace = delete support (this might be default now on new macs). http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/ Delocalize for removing many Mb's of foreign language resources you're not likely to need http://osx.iusethis.com/app/delocalize For laptops there's a widget called Deep Sleep which is basically proper hibernate. I also swear by Omnifocus on Mac desktop and iPhone. GTD task management. W00t. Mac rocks.

Transmit is good if you want an FTP GUI that also does SFTP easily. All depends what you want to do.
