What’s in your Dock? Essential Software for Mac

While discussing our computer uses the other day, my brother said, “You can learn a lot about somebody by looking at what’s in their dock.”

Let’s take a look at mine:

My interests span media, the internet, graphic design, and gaming (strictly when those games are well designed with the Mac in mind) and that is clearly reflected in my dock.

I’m currently running Snow Leopard and I make good use of several of the programs that come on all Macs:

• iTunes
• iCal
• Address Book
• iChat
• Text Edit
• iPhoto

I also frequently use some free software including:

• Firefox
• TweetDeck
• Amazon MP3 Downloader

My software picks in terms of what I needed to buy to are:

• Microsoft Office
• Adobe Photoshop
• Adobe Illustrator (I’m still using Adobe CS2 since that’s what I bought with the educational discount while in college and haven’t needed to upgrade badly enough to pay full price yet)
• World of Warcraft (geeky as it is, this is the best designed game for Mac)
• Spore
• The Sims 3
• Turbo Tax (this doesn’t actually make it into the dock since I only need it for a few days each tax season but I buy it every year)

So tell me, what’s in your dock?
