Entourage (Microsoft's Outlook for Mac). I use Entourage for mail rather than Apple Mail, but i have friends who prefer Apple mail. I use Entourage as IMAP client, rather than Exchange, so it works from home seamlessly, but it can do Exchange too.

Get MacLeland from Stanford http://www.stanford.edu/group/itss/macstanford/macleland/^{Image Removed}. This includes both Open AFS, and the Stanford GUI for managing it. See me for some tweaks that make it smooth (like getting /afs to look as though it is mounted in the root, rather than /Volumes/afs, so it looks just as it does when you're on an AFS machine at work). Also at Stanford ESS

...

The idea is to download, edit a couple of files, then reboot. You'll have to type 'klog' and supply a password if you want full access or to write anything, but basically you'll just 'cd /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/lcls/...'
1. Go to http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/candidate/1.4.1-rc1/macos-10.4/^{Image Removed} and download the disk image (.dmg) file. Install the software, check the readme.
2. Open a terminal and edit /var/db/openafs/etc/ThisSite ThisCell and have it contain a single line: slac.stanford.edu
3. You'll find the SLAC directories under /afs/slac.stanford.edu/... but there are (unfortunately) references to a link by the name of /afs/slac/... That is, some folks make use of an alias from /afs/slac to /afs/slac.stanford.edu which isn't visible by default. sigh. To fix that,
4. Edit /var/db/openafs/etc/CellServDB, and search for the entry with slac.stanford.edu. It looks like:
>slac.stanford.edu #Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
134.79.18.25 #afsdb1.slac.stanford.edu
134.79.18.26 #afsdb2.slac.stanford.edu
134.79.18.27 #afsdb3.slac.stanford.edu

5. Duplicate these lines, and change the '>slac.stanford.edu' to '>slac'. You should be ready to go. You'll probably have to reboot.

Reboot.

Editors/IDEs

Xcode - http://developer.apple.com^{Image Removed}
SubEthaEdit - http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/^{Image Removed}

Emacs.

As Shipped, but only "curses" interface. Better use "OS X"ified version of GNU distribution available from a few places, see http://www.webweavertech.com/ovidiu/emacs.html^{Image Removed} and linked pages. See me for .emacs and redo.el setup. Strongly recommend also installing JDE and JDEbug from www.sunsite.dk (as I recently got SCS to install on /afs/slac/package/emacs), this makes Emacs great java IDE.

For Tiger OS - You must get a different version of emacs compiled for Tiger-
get emacs download from http://home.att.ne.jp/alpha/z123/emacs-mac-e.html^{Image Removed}
I placed an alias into my login .bashrc file : alias emacs="/Applications/Emacs/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs" so that I can emacs from xterm command line.

Apple's own IDE. As shipped on Developer CD. Heard it's great for C and Java development too but I don't use it. I use emacs and eclipse.

Quicksilver (Tiger OS)

http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/^{Image Removed}
Quicksilver allows you to navigate to what you need quickly and easily, while keeping your hands on the keyboard. For example, if you want to launch an application hidden in the depths of your file system, simply activate Quicksilver with a keystroke, type a few letters of the application's name, then hit Return or Enter to launch it. When you don't need Quicksilver, it keeps out of your way, preserving screen real estate. (Stephen, Doug, Diane and Debbie are using)
