    nothing fancy, but it gets me from day to day:

    Instant Messengers: mostly AIM, but I have MSN just in case

    Spyware / Adware removal: weekly run of Ad-Aware and Spybot

    Internet Browsing: mainly Firefox, but sometimes I still have to use IE6

    Media Player: mostly Winamp, but occasionally WMP when I want surround sound

    Music Store: depends what's cheapest

    P2P: blubster for music, ares for everything else... all the rest got blocked by my school

    Office Suite(Microsoft Office, Start Office): MS Office

    Email Account: main one is Yahoo, then I have the school's account, and a Hotmail account, and a few others that I use when I dont want the main ones getting spammed

    Anti-Virus: McAfee

    Firewall: built in windows firewall, plus now i'm on DSL behind a firewalled router

    Modding: i've got t-clock2, samurize, and 3r-1c (volume bezel thing from macs)
    As I was going down the stair, I met a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today; I wish I wish he'd go away.
