I finally graduated to the world of mac. Today my shiny new 12" PowerBook G4 arrived!!! Now I have to take a crash-course into the system since this is my new primary computer. Is there any software or hardware gadgetry that is a must-have?

I've just started on a mac and so far I've shelled out money for:
- NetNewsWire -- the best feed reader
- TextMate -- a very handy text editor (I didn't feel comfortable in either Vim or Emacs under osx)
I've also download quite a few bits of Open Source stuff -- Firefox, Camino, OpenOffice. The usual culprits.
