and a special lifetime achievement award goes to:
- VLC (congratulations for being in the list more than a decade now!! ![thumbs up](http://forums.macnn.com/images/smilies/up.gif) )

My favorite free apps:
1) Handbrake
2) VLC
3) Plex
4) Chrome
Apps I have a lasting contempt for:
Any Microsoft product, particularly Outlook - horrid on Macs, great on PCs, no wonder. Die Microsoft, die!
Any Oracle product - still looks like 1970s programming + has the most ludicrous Java requirements.

I was heavily into pharmacology back in college. Think WUCMS would accept those “credits”?
