Adium to chat. 1password for passwords. Candybar to pimp your interface. (also check out mac themes forum) Coconut Battery to check your battery's health. iVolume to normalise mp3. CoverSutra to control iTunes. Little Snitch to make sure nothing phones home. Quicksilver for easy command line launching. TextMate if you code HTML.

I have the 4000 for my laptop and it has the USB key you have to plug in. On my mac I have the Bluetooth mouse. Luckily I just bought a powered USB hub for my studio Mac as I was running out of USB ports. So now I can plug in any of my USB powered items into this. Really nice too.

Re: Mac finally!

old school logitech mx900 here, works great.. bluetooth.

Re: Mac finally!

Yah, I didn't know until after I purchased the mouse that it came w. the usb receiver which is redic. I may use it on a desktop, I may throw it in a lake...

I picked up the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 Mac/Win for $19.99...I feel better now, especially at that price!:D

Re: Mac finally!

^ I do agree, that Mac users can be a bit snobby.. Kind of like how when a VW Bug, or a Jeep pulls up, you know exactly what kind of person is driving it. It's all about image for most people...

Re: Mac finally!

kind of like how we ALL are with our edm ;)

lol yea thats true.

anytime i see a decent looking civic, newer bug, or a jetta, i expect to see a hot chick. when i either see a short mexican or a white dude that bat the other way, i am greatly disappointed. :(

Re: Mac finally!

Mac owners image is kind of minimalist. Don't you think?
