Out of all the soft­ware installed on my com­puter there are a hand­ful of pro­grams that I just couldn’t live with­out, for func­tion­al­ity and every­day use;

• Adobe Pho­to­shop for it’s ease of use and func­tion­al­ity, not to men­tion being able to suc­cess­fully trans­late my designs to print and the web seamlessly.
• Dreamweaver despite my pref­er­ence to han­droll sites over ‘wiz­zy­wig’ there are fea­tures of Dreamweaver that stream­line the process.
• Fire­bird for it’s inge­nu­ity and bril­liant ren­der­ing code. Believe me, I was not a fan of Netscape and to think that FB is built on Gecko amazes me.
• Diskeeper 8 for it’s beau­ti­ful GUI and how it keeps my hard­drive run­ning via it’s excel­lent defrag­men­ta­tion engine.
• Textpad (or Meta­pad) for it’s ver­sa­til­ity. Whether you need to cre­ate a full-fledged web doc­u­ment — be it XHTML/CSS/PHP/ASP — or just a sim­ple text doc­u­ment this pro­gram is sim­ple and extremely useful.

Some­day I hope to add Nick Bradbury’s well-received and award-winning apps, Feed­de­mon (for RSS feeds) and Top­style (for CSS editing).
