Programmes you cant live without

flogen

What programmes do you have on your computer that you cant do without (be it for work, college or your own hobbies?)

personally, for college I need quark, photoshop and of course word, and in my own time i use Flash (and photoshop too)..
Ive always intended on getting something like pro tools, but Ive never been musical, so i guess theres no point!!

cheers for the link civilian, musicmatch just came with my stereo (it has a USB connection), although i soon figured it plays any sound through the speakers (and not just the sound from MM), I never bothered to get anything else (i think i used to use winamp)

I'll check that out, cheers

i have pretty much everything useful EXCEPT anti virus s/w. my pc tends to screw me over quite efficiently when i use the net. usually leads to about, on average, oh about 1000 viruses a month. ideal solution: format and reinstall...
