Impresionante lo que hicieron estos muchachos de Mactricksandtips. La lista está dividida en varias secciones: Internet, Multimedia, Pequeñas Aplicaciones, Herramientas, y Trabajo. La verdad que están joya, joya. Y, para llegar a las 100, no hay ninguna que merezca desperdicio.

Lo que también está bueno es que la mayoría son freewares por lo que, nada, haceles caso a estos muchachos que laburaron y lo hicieron de la mejor manera. ¡Te apostamos que no tenés ni un 50 por ciento de estos programas!

Ah, otro punto a favor: cada programita tiene su correspondiente link para que sepas de dónde bajarlo.

I love my Mac and I have hundreds of applications installed on it.As a result I wanted to do a post on what I believe are the top 100 Macapplications that are essential to any user. I.vepicked a variety ofapplications that I could think of. I have tried togo for the cheaperfree option, but quite a few you have to pay for. If you think I ammissing an application leave a comment with a link to the app and whyyou should think it should be included, it doesn.t have to be long, Ijust want your opinions. If you disagree with any leave a comment withyour reasons.

Each application will be split into a couple of major sections.There are some applications that could be in more than one section, butthat is not the point of this post. I will also include a link and abit of descriptive text on what the application is about. There may beduplicate items of the same naturei.e word processing, i.ve includedthis due to the differences each application has. The list is in noparticular order, mostly alphabetical.
