@ ruahine:
You may try a replacement icon for AppCleaner. I'm using this one:

but Psst seems to have broken with 10.5.5 (or atleast my computer has some issues with the chime with this update)
Comment and replies on PDFLab:
Unfortunately after trying to add my first pdf document with this program it froze up.... took several minutes before my attempt to force quit it worked... even worse it effected some of the other programs that were running so after I had already quit PDFLab they continued to run buggy.
Comment and replies on Paintbrush:
I want to suggest an even greater goal... recreating my favourite app of all time: Superpaint.
I've always dreamed of a day someone would recreate it, I can't figure out how people draw pictures on computers without it.
Comment and replies on Skim:
An awesome program. I just used it to go through all the journal articles I'd downloaded for an essay I was writing, and it just made the process of going through the articles on the computer painless. I am usually very much a pen and paper man, but this really made things simple.
It's replaced Preview on my Mac. Has everything I need as a college student and probably has more. [Wish they'd make cross-platform versions... my university only uses PCs, bah.]
Hah, I like to see all the people who use this the same way I do. I have a professor this semester who provides almost all course material by PDF and I desperately needed a highlight feature. That and a plethora of other useful features makes Skim wonderful for me.
Such a loveable app.
Skim is very useful for those who use Apple's Keynote on Leopard.
By cropping region in your pdf file using Skim, you can paste the region into Keynote. This very useful function that was unfortunately disabled on Preview.app on Leopard.
Looks interesting, but highlights don't work correctly for me: highlights on text in Skim doesn't show in Preview, nor in Acrobat Pro 8. :(
However, highlights done with Acrobat Pro 8, are displayed correctly, both in Skim and in Preview.
After I upgraded to Leopard, Preview began behaving very strangely, opening on my secondary (laptop) display instead of my main (external) display, which was a real drag literally. So I've found a solution in Skim for pdfs and ViewIt for most other image files. (Actually ViewIt will open pdfs also, but I like Skim's annotation features etc.
Skim is a very useful app, as previously documented here.
The only reason I still use preview is one bug in Skim when printing with the "reduce file size" quartz filter - instead of changeing the resolution, Skim changes the visible portion of the page, so you see only half of the slide :-(.
BTW current version should be 1.2 (38)

I can't seem to find anywhere on the site what places it supports. Is it just the states or elsewhere too?

Excellent incarnation of classic pacman.
Great! Really fun and fresh. My number one distraction.
Comment and replies on Super Stealball:
Great game. Me and my mates will crack it out every now and again and spend ages battling each other at it. Definately worth the money for the hours of entertainment given. Don't bother about single player though, just go for multiplayer and be prepared to laugh.
Comment and replies on Minuteur:
Version 5 comes with a lot of nice little touches... but the biggest change is that it's gone from being donationware to shareware (as in it stops working after 21 days).
It's a nice little program, but it would never contribute enough to my life to be worth paying for.
Comment and replies on Namely:
Nice simple launcher that works fast.
I'm not used to modern programs reacting fast especially not one like this on my old G3 iMac, but it reacts instantly!
And besides it works on panther!

This does the job well, but the icon is horrible. Sticks out badly on my dock.
