What applications do you consider essential for a fully functional Mac OS 9.2.2 system? This can obviously be parametrized many ways, so I'll elaborate a bit. I'm interested in your opinions, though, so feel free to derail my suggestions at any point.
By "essential," I'm getting as those infrastructural applications that make the rest of the system work better for whatever specific use you make of your classic Mac. For example, StuffIt comes immediately to mind. Specifically, Stuffit Deluxe 5.5 as it seems to be era-appropriate for Mac OS 9, and is a relatively stable version. Your opinion may differ, and I would be interested to hear it.
Here are some other other candidates:
- Classilla 9.3.2 (or newer)
- Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.5
- QuickTime 6.0.3
- ResEdit 2.1.3
- Thursby DAVE 6.2
- Toast Titanium 5.0.2
Other favorites, that I might not consider essential, but I nonetheless would not want to work without:
- American Heritage English Dictionary
- NumberCrunch
What general use application must you have on your Mac?
