web - atm im using firefox (safari is good not sure if i should go back to it)
email - Thunderbird
IM - adium
photo - photoshop cs4
video (editing/creating) premire pro cs4
video (editing creating) soundbooth cs4
video (watching) vlc

what I'm still looking for (i have looked on apple site and google) is things like

torrent - i know utorrent has a mac port, has or does anyone use it
binary news - on windows i used newsleecher
ftp/sftp/fxp - on windows i was using flashfxp

I know i could install bootcamp and xp and use the programs that way - i would prefer mac native, unless i have no other choice
 
Browsing: Safari
Email: Mail.app
IM: Adium
Photo management: iPhoto
video editing: Final Cut Pro
Video watching: Perian plug-in for Quicktime or VLC
Torrent: Transmission (the only client I ever use)
ftp: Cyberduck/ncftp

I don't do binary news stuff, ever.
 
Web: Camino (though Safari 4 does seem nice)
Email: I only use web based (except my iPhone where 99% of the time I use Mail)
IM: Adium
Photo Editing - Photoshop (not sure what version it even is now - perhaps CS)
Video (editing/creating): I don't
Video (watching): VLC (if VLC doesn't play it I most likely don't wanna watch it

----

Torrents: Transmission [watch what version you use and don't upgrade on day 1] - I've also used rtorrent/libtorrent via Macports :)

Binary News / Newsgroups: Unison (by Panic)
FTP/SFTP: Transmit (heard good things about Forklift also) - never used FXP :(
 
well seeing as i run imap for all my accounts i suppose it doesnt matter what i use, what is mail like? i mean it have good filters and such?

Seeing as i have different OSes and such i have it set so i can get it from anywhere, web, vista, mac :)
 
web - Firefox.
email - Gmail through Firefox.
IM - Digsby
photo - Photoshop CS4. Don't really edit photos. Paint.NET on Windows is plenty powerful.
video (watching) - Media Player Classic / VLC

torrent - I used to have my main PC on all the time for torrenting, but I have switched over to putting large drives on a Debian box and using TorrentFlux (torrentflux.com/)
binary news - I haven't use usenet in years. Google groups if anything.
ftp/sftp/fxp - Filezilla does everything I need it to do.
 
did you not notice this is for mac's? :p

I'm led to believe mplayer is a better video player on Mac's than VLC.
 
yes mplayer is better shame there is no package for mac (well there is but out dated) suppose i will have to look into compiling from source :)
 
web - firefox
email - Thunderbird
IM - adium
photo - photoshop cs4
video (editing/creating) imovie
video (editing creating) - none
video (watching) vlc - looking at mplayer though
torrent - transmission
binary news - undecided see below
ftp/sftp/fxp - undecided see below

Last question on this, i near have all what i need, the last two apps seem to be shareware meaning i will have to buy (or look elsewhere) to use them, seeing as i already have 2 paid apps for this task, not that i do a lot of it, should i just leave the windows pc to do what i need in regards to these two apps or would people suggest using bootcamp?
 
Just and FYI while you think over and FTP/SFTP client .. if you want to be insane you can do both via command line lol.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
