your Best software?

[DES_1001]

I was just wondering if you could pick any programs to have/got on your computer, which programs would you pick as your best programs to have or to want on your pc?
My top programs are;Nero 6, Adobe photoshop7 (would like Photoshop CS), Works 7, Norton Systemworks 2003 (would like 2004) ZoneAlarm 4 Pro and MGI PhotoSuite 4 platinium.

Etrust antivirus, Simp pro and visualtrace have to my favs.

Photoshop CS, Illustrator CS, Flash MX and Cubase SX 2

Apple's iLife suite - iMovie, in particular. I have never had so much fun with a computer. And this week I get to bring my iMac into the office to make a short video interview with our chief exec (they're letting me attempt to prove to them, after months of pestering, that corporate video needn't cost a fortune). So I get to play with my toys at the office!

iPhoto and iTunes have also transformed the way we do stuff at home, managing a huge library of photos from our digi camera and allowing us to digitise an ever-growing chunk of our CD collection. I'm hoping to get a DVD writer later this year so we can put our home videos onto disc using iDVD as well.

the chance to show off your toys at work yess

Dreamweaver MX, Photoshop 7.0, Ad-Aware, Norton Suite, Windows XP Image Resize PowerToy !

[Stuart]

A varied selection:

Dreamweaver MX (the code view & site management are brilliant)
Edit Plus (for doing the odd page, Dreamweaver is too bulky)
Premiere 6 (6.5 wasn't a big enough change to justify an upgrade, and Pro wont run on Athlons)
AfterFX 5.5.

Finally, just 'cause I did do c++ programming at Uni, and like to keep my hand in (so to speak), C++ Builder 6.

[SMHarman]

iTunes (and the attached/detached iPod)
XP for its stability over 98
Windows Movie Maker 2 - its not iMovie, but its damn good
TmpGenc and TmpGenc Author - make great DVDs
FTPExplorer - does what it says on the tin.
