It’s not a huge roundup, and it’s not for every one. This list, which by no means used to exist on a physical side, is now embedded below for future reference (either mine, or my friends’) and you, who may find a couple of hidden gems in there. Over the years I created some sort of personal list of the first apps I install on a fresh new Mac every single time, right after the Network preferences are set up and ready to go. A good friend of mine was so used to Firefox I had to bet (I’m serious) that he would like Safari more if only he gave it a chance. Having to deal with installations and restores, I’ve come to the point where I know exactly which apps to install depending on what that user needs, and how. This is the usual chain of events in a life of a standard OS X geek.
In fact, I’m quite proud of all those friends of mine I’ve managed to convince to get on the other side, but I’m even more proud of them because now they’re teaching the basics to someone else. That’s just the usual life of a OS X geek in a place where people are scared of leaving their Windows PCs, but really would like to get a Mac. Over the years I’ve had to mess with many OS X installations, backups, failures and restores.
