Jeff's "Musthaves" when it comes to computers!

Ok I thought about what everyone should have on their computers. For those of you who have not come over from the PC world all of theses will work for you as well. Good luck.
1. Skype -- Free calls computer to computer. Cheap calls to everyone else.
2. Itunes -- There is no easier way to get free podcasts. Come on.
3. Quicktime -- Probably not the best, but it works.
4. Firefox -- I am sorry if you use IE. Please stop the madness.
5. Google Earth -- It is just cool.
6. VLC -- when quicktime just wont do.
7. Foxit Reader -- Tell Adobe Reader no thank you!
8. Audacity -- If you do anything with music.... GET IT!
9. Gmail account -- It is free and is better than the rest! No more yahoo, aol, or hotmail please.
10. Igoogle -- Make it your home page, with one look you are up to date. You need to set it up though.
11. Blogger -- Also known as blogspot. Just the best free blog service out there.
12. Google Reader -- All you want to know in one place.
13. Google Calendar -- What you are doing where ever you are.

Honorable Mentions -- Totally geeky though.
A. Twitter -- Try not to get hooked.
B. Pownce -- If you can figure it out, you rule.
C. Jott -- Just check it out
D. Grand Central -- One number for life baby.

Jeff,

This is Amir. First off, Happy Easter, we're in Reno but will be watching you online. Second, I'd have to say you are the most tech savvy pastor I've heard of. Great recommendations, Grand Central is GREAT.
