What is on your list? Besides the basics (like, for me, Win XP Pro and Office XP Pro, Norton Antivirus, and a good firewall) What else (in your opinion) is really good and useful software to have?

I make a lot of audio CDs, so I use Nero 5.5.9.9 & Sound Forge 6

There other programs that I could list - what about you?

newsrover and a newsfeeds account.  So you can have all the software/porn you could ever need.  Also, make sure you have a gigantic hard drive.

Well, I like the following:

Dreamweaver/Flash
Secure CRT
Roxio CD Creator Plat.
Sound Forge (XP)
WS_FTP
Frontpage XP
Exceed
PC Anywhere

Those are the ones I've been using lately.

Need Irfan view for basic picture viewing.  It is small, versatile and rock solid, Adaware to check for stuff on your machine, Kazalite the non spyware P2P program, Winamp for music and Winrar for file compression.  Those are the basics.  Toys you need Counter-Strike, Jasc Paint shop pro, Macromedia Studio FX, FotoAlbum for a good mass photo organizer and Swish for a very easy Flash program.

In GTA "Vice City" you can have a major standoff with the POlice at the beginning of the parking lot ramp.
