I just bought an iMac last night and a friend of mine told me to get Stuffit and Onyx. Aside from those two software, what are some other software that I should download? Also, what are the cool things that it can do?

if your into copying dvd's (Legally?) download MacTheRipper it will dump the files into a folder that you can just burn to a dual layer disk. or you can compress and burn them to a single layer disc with the software Toast Titanium (google it) but you have to pay for it.

if you use msn or aol.. or pretty much any other instant messaging program get Adium X it is probably the best app for it.

you can go the website MacUpdate: Apple Macintosh Software & Game Downloads to download these mentioned apps and just have a browse for whatever else interests you

if you havent found it already you can try out dashboard its probably in the bottom left of your screen, on the dock open it up and have a look see.. have fun with your new mac

Get iAlertU if you like to catch people red handed trying to touch your mac

[JedixJarf]

Cyberduck if you use FTP or gui ssh
VLC for any codec Quicktime wont play
Rar machine if you need to creat split rar files.

I just found this nice open-source car racing app too, it's called Racer.

microsoft office

oh and iwork is an alternative to office

speed downloader for downloading from safari

limewire pro for songs

if you want games - spore

unrarX is great for .rar files

adobe photoshop if you edit photos

Yes, I enjoy it a lot more than Vuze. Its more of a Mac program if you know what i mean. you just drag the torrents file over. Has tabs at the bottom to select how fast you upload.download. But then again that is just my 2 cents

oh and here is a neat little site opensourcemac.org
