Applications have always been at the heart of the Apple experience and for your information, I've listed these products that you should try out on your Mac at least once, I use all of these regularly as well as Apples own applications, and I'm sure they're familiar to most readers, but with so many new potential switchers I find its good to have a resource to point people to when they want to know whats so cool about the Mac. Please use the contact form or my email to submit your own favorites.
