Yea just got a macbook last week. Havent got the adobe package yet and was just looking for some software for editing images similar to photoshop and illustrator etc, or other fun programs to play with.
Try using everything that comes with your mac! There's plenty todo without any extra programs! Garage band is a good laugh...erm and if you whack a few photos in iphoto have a fiddle around with the photo settings and you can get some cool things goin on!
As for other random free programs... Quicksilver is a must, Adium X is good, MPEG streamclip is handy for any video that quicktime wont play...though you should probably download VLC aswel.
Im a bit of mac geek so if there is anything you need answering i'll be happy to help!

ok mac geek lol
tell me bout Quicksilver, Adium X and VLC and where i could possibly get them from. I had some fun with Comic Life but not really had a look at garage band properly.
Type Quicksilver os x into google and it'll appear as a hit.
The best way is to run it and you can then see how useful it is (I personally consider it essential---computers just seem broken without it).
Also, go to iusethis mac software: New Releases
it's a database of progs used by the mac community. It's rated and added to by us users (rather than developers) so gives a good idea of what's good and what alternatives there are.
