    I have a list:)

    MS Office 2004
    Adium X (multi-protocol IM)
    Onyx (maintenance)
    TacoHTML (HTML editor)
    Fink (for Unix and linux ports)
    Stuffit Expander (think winrar)
    gDisk (Gmail hard drive)
    Unison (binary news reader)
    Transmission (bit torrent client)
    Dragon Burn (CD/DVD burning application)
    iTerm (tabbed terminal)

    Don't forget to install X11 from Tiger DVD 1 for X11 apps, which will be most *nix ports. Install Classic MacOS 9 from DVD 2 for legacy apps.

    10.4.3 just came out, I highly reccomend it. There is more software I use, but thats what comes to mind atm.

    Okay, thanks for clarifying that; now go edit my vote in the poll. I'm in Florida, the accuracy of a poll means NOTHING to me :D

    You can find a ginormous amount of widgets for Dashboard at apple.com, as well.
