Sooooooooooo for all you Mac Animals out there, what all do I need/more importantly want for my new toy. I'm getting iWorks and I'll download firefox for getting into company stuff, but what else.

You'll find 1Password at agilebits.com and Dropbox at Dropbox.com extremely useful. Other than that, iWorks is all I've needed for years. iLife might be in order if you're creative, but the App store lets you selectively download any additional programs you might want like iPhoto, games, etc.
Don't bother with the Windows stuff; totally unnecessary.
DO NOT use Firefox 4; download 3.6.17. I haven't heard if they fixed version 4 yet.
