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.

The $9 version of Office also applies to Mac if you haven't already used it for Windows.
Google Chrome.
Handbrake if you want videos on layover unless you are going to carry an external DVD drive cuz the Air doesn't have an internal one.
Skype.
Inkscape if you want a free graphics proggy, but you will have to learn it on your own.
TInkertool if you want to tweak stuff behind the scenes in MacOS.
Thanks guys! I've made a list just like for apps on the iPhone and am working through them.
I couldn't find firefox 3.6 but I did notice that firefox 4 was up to 4.0.1 so I took a chance and it seems to work just fine with iCrew and iCrew max.
I have an email into Greg Hale as I cant get BidAssist to load from the download.....I have an uneasy feeling its a windows program (even though he lists MAC as a trouble shooting option). I wasn't going to mess with it (used it for years and like the sort function) but the desktop PBS is windows only. Does that other Delta PBS program work on a MAC?
Thanks again for all you're help......any thoughts on getting a wireless printer to work.
