I'm still running parallels but I'd like to see what native windows runs like. However, I'm still rather squeamish about it.</p> <p>couple apps I highly recommend for your new leopardized machine:</p> <p>1) appfresh (http://metaquark.de/appfresh/)-> it scans your applications/widgets/plugins/etc and looks through the tubes for updated versions (and downloads/installs them!). Saves all kinds of time. (and free!)</p> <p>2) omni disk sweeper (http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/) - scans your system and allows you to find those huge files that suck up disk space (did you know that epson printer drivers take up over a gig of space? does it look like I have an epson printer? delete!)- free version is good (paid version lets you delete the file right there versus hunting for it)</p> <p>3) coda (http://www.panic.com/coda/). I've been using the free version for a long time and let me tell you- it's awesome. it's by far my favorite web coding app of all time (I don't do much coding- but when I do this is it). It lets you update files directly in your directory (even has a wysiwyg css editor), or ftp them directly (built in transmit). I need to shell out the $80 for this..try the free version for a while- you'll love it.</p> <p>4) dashalytics (http://www.tuaw.com/2007/07/22/widget-watch-dashalytics-3-0/)--> your google analytics account as a widget - pretty handy for quick trend watching.</p> <p>ok, that's enough from me..back to work on my crap work dell pc. blech.</p> hey db, I double-dog-dare-you to try boot camp… I’m still running parallels but I’d like to see what native windows runs like.

1) appfresh (http://metaquark.de/appfresh/)-&gt; it scans your applications/widgets/plugins/etc and looks through the tubes for updated versions (and downloads/installs them!). Saves all kinds of time. (and free!)

2) omni disk sweeper (http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/) – scans your system and allows you to find those huge files that suck up disk space (did you know that epson printer drivers take up over a gig of space? does it look like I have an epson printer? delete!)- free version is good (paid version lets you delete the file right there versus hunting for it)

4) dashalytics (http://www.tuaw.com/2007/07/22/widget-watch-dashalytics-3-0/)–&gt; your google analytics account as a widget – pretty handy for quick trend watching.

ok, that’s enough from me..back to work on my crap work dell pc. blech.

It's a pretty awesome little plugin that uploads photos directly from within iPhoto. It's so good, I actually paid for it.</p> Yes, I can get this in before the other Mac geeks do: Can I recommend FlickrExport for iPhoto?
