Well, I have: Finder (of course) Safari FireFox (for when Safari won't work on a site) Mail AdiumX iCal Address Book MS Word MS Excel (an unfortunate necessity) Keynote '08 (no more PPT! Hurray!) Pages '08 (still switching from Word) FInal Cut Express Comic Life iTunes (which is always open) iPhoto Toast 7 Photoshop Elements 3 (I have 4, but I don't have the installer - I wiped my HDD to install Leopard) Schoolhouse (a homework tracker) Text Edit (much more useful than a full blown word processor in many cases!) Text Wrangler (for Web coding) Cyberduck (ditto) TuneConnect (for playing iTunes on my G4, over WiFi, with fantastic speakers attached) Terminal Activity Monitor (the "road stripes divider") Homework Folder Downloads Trash. Wow, I ought to try QUicksilver.... Most of these apps I use on a very regular basis - although there are several I could jettison, particularly after School lets out for winter break. It's wall-to-wall on my old Powerbook, and I have Leopard's "shelf-dock" appearance disabled, as it tends to slow down the Powerbook. It looks the same as if you had the dock on the side of the screen. Needless to say, with a tiny Powerbook screen, I'm lovin' Spaces! :D My Dock? Well, I have:

It’s wall-to-wall on my old Powerbook, and I have Leopard’s “shelf-dock” appearance disabled, as it tends to slow down the Powerbook. It looks the same as if you had the dock on the side of the screen.

Needless to say, with a tiny Powerbook screen, I’m lovin’ Spaces! :D

I use the <a>WRMZ</a> set with a few "custom" icons, ie rearranging letters to make missing ones. Also, as soon as I launch Safari, SafariStand kicks in and reopens my 5-6 windows with about 30 tabs total, so that fills up the dock space pretty quickly.

All of my Office products are in a folder, as are Games, System Utilities, etc. That's one feature of Leopard that definitely sold me.

More than a few of them are ones I don't use as much as I used to. My dock is vertical, too. 30 apps, ’cause I’m lazy. More than a few of them are ones I don’t use as much as I used to.
