Heck, why do you even need a photo program on the Mac? It already comes with iPhoto '06. I've all but quit using Photoshop and GIMP since that came out. All of the stuff is in one dialog box: straighten, color correction, tint, etc.. Last week, I spent 30 minutes in Photoshop 6 (it's what work gives me) trying to find crap that I found in 30 seconds in iPhoto.
these are all really good. heh, when i was at the source forge page for one of them there was this ad for more flexible screwing. "The Flexible Shaft Ratcheting Screwdriver!"@dragazisshut up
Absolutely none of these apps have anything to do with real college work. Just time wasters and needless crap for editing youtube videos and flickr photos.
Office? Are you kidding me? First off, unless you need to use to advanced features in Word, you can just use Google's free Writely. If thats not enough, than get Apple iWork. Pages and Keynote. for $80 bucks. Much nicer than Office. Only thing missing is spreadsheets, which, again, if it's just simple stuff you could use Google Spreadsheets.Oh, most of this list has nothing to do with college. I was expecting maybe some oganization stuff.
Maybe not much to do with academics, but a lot to do with college...Most of the time spent at college isn't on schoolwork. I'm in college and these are the programs that I use on a consistent basis along with many that are included with new macs...iCal especially. If you read the bottom of the article, you would have seen I didn't include these.

Swift Publisher is what students can really use. I personally like it very much. Similar to Pages, but more page layout app than text editor.<a class="user" href="http://www.belightsoft.com/products/swiftpublisher/overview.php">http://www.belightsoft.com/products/swiftpublisher/overview.php</a>

As far as I can see, Ourtunes is the only one I'd really like to download...but it didn't work on my computer! Boo.
