Workstrip - I have used Workstrip
and got rid of the Dock. However, I am sure that I do
not useWorkstrip any where near its full potential. I
use Workstrip mainly as a launcher in place of the
Dock. I have found that sometimes it gets the
Spinning Ball of Death and have turned off some of
its tracking.
LaunchBar - I like LaunchBar - I use it a lot, mainly as an application launcher, even though there are bookmarks, email addresses in its list.
Fruitmenu - I use this a lot, I have added several things to the Apple Menu.
SallingClicker - this is great and a real show-off item to Windows users. I have a Bluetooth phone and do PowerPoint presentations using Salling Clicker controls. The addition of a Bluetooth PDA and the later Salling Clicker software means that you can preview and get more information on the phone or PDA about a presentation than before - brilliant!
Synergy - I list to music while working a lot and as phone calls come in, I use Synergy to pause. great ease of use.
SoundSource - I have an iMic and that is piped into the Hi-Fi and playing music through that from iTunes. It is great to be able to control and from the menu bar. With a PowerBook the iMic is rarely used, though for times when you want to preview on one audio output whilst another is playing then the iMic will be handy. Still good to have the switchable line level inputs.
