TextEdit tries to be too "smart," and can screw up what you're working on if you're coding. Stickies aren't enough for long "pure text" files. I've always gone into the terminal and used pico, but this might be worth trying out instead.VLC is the best video player for everything that you get off of the net - if you don't watch those kinds of videos, you don't need it. Just because you don't need it, doesn't keep it from being great.I won't even get into why Firefox and its world of great extensions beats Safari for me - I'll just say this: try using Gmail in FF instead of Safari, and see how many features suddenly work that didn't before.It's "Delicious Library" - no relation to the tagging site. Try an $8 CueCat, you can find them on eBay - it's a great cheap USB barcode scanner. Much less than getting an iSight, and it works a hell of a lot better for scanning barcodes.
I have 2 20" LCDs, 1 15" LCD, and a 17" CRT, so both sides of my main monitor go to other monitors, and Sidenote will only stick to the edges of the main monitor, making it impossible for me to use.That's how I figure.

The CueCat is pretty handy. BG Micro has modified ones for $7.95<a class="user" href="http://www.bgmicro.com/catalog.asp">http://www.bgmicro.com/catalog.asp</a>

Instead of Smultron, try TextWrangler ... free, EZ to use, lots of features if you need them.

I was bashing over zealous mac users in that last sentence. As an artist who uses windows, I gotta deal with a lot of over the top mac lovers. :(
