I GOT A NEW COMPUTER!!!!!!!

It's a Powerbook G4. It came with Panther (alas, says [livejournal.com profile] boolean263). It is very pretty.

It reminds me of a fortune cookie that I got from Archie McPhee: Say to the next person you see: Look at me. I am pretty.

Okay, all you compy geeks out there--any free software recommendations?

Powerbook G4! That rocks! It must be schweeeet. Welcome back to the internet! (It's still full of morons.)

Free software recommendations? Well, my standard suggestion is Firefox. You may not bother with it, since you've got Safari, which is a decent browser. But I've stumbled on enough Safari quirks that I'd be sticking with Firefox if I ever got a Mac.

I haven't used Mail.app much, but if you find it doesn't suit you, there's always Thunderbird.

I know you're a nerd like me, but I don't know how much of a Unix geek you are. You might be interested in Fink, if only to get OS X ports of favourites like the Gimp or GAIM. Or... can it be?... yes!... Fink also has a port of PINE!

Are you looking for any particular type of software?
