    Old Essentials (What I used to hog):
    Wally,
    WC3,
    Swish,
    Winamp,
    Vegas,
    Photoshop,
    Notepad.

    New Essentials (What I hog now):
    TGF,
    Photoshop,
    InstallCreator,
    PatchMaker,
    WinAmp,
    Macromedia Flash,
    Audacity,
    Terragen,
    Wally,
    WC3,
    3DStudioMax,
    GTKRadient.

    There are many many more, but I'm just basically listing the programs I currently toil with daily (or used in the past) as opposed to the ones I regard as essential. The ones underlined can be remotely (If not fully) used to benefit any and all projects I create that involve 'graphics' (ie. ontopic here).

    Nothing spectacular, and 95% of them were free.
