Choseman's Mac Tips

As folks switch to the OS X, they frequently ask me for tips etc.  Well, I thought I'd begin with my top recommended applications.

1.  QuickSilver:  Download from http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22549

Use case here: http://theappleblog.com/2005/02/18/quicksilver-changes-everything/

2.  Rip DVDs to MP4.  http://handbrake.fr/

3.  Instant Messenger for just about any service: AdiumX

4.  Drawing program to replace Visio: OmnigrafflePro

5.  Reading .MIL OWA with Safari.  This is a little tougher but here is the link that worked for me.  http://caconmac.openboxconcepts.com/safari.  You do need to download the AFC from Thursby.  It's all on this page.  Though the link for the Thursby app is broken it'll get you close enough.
