this page has loads of free open source software for mac (most have linux and pc versions too)

http://www.opensourcemac.org/

there's all sorts of useful stuff like word processing and torrents and whatnot

for music heads there's Audacity which is a simple audio recording and editing tool

pure data which i already raved about here

and some more good things if you dig through the many links :)

Pure Data

this one is so cool, it gets capital letters on its name.

this is a link to a website containing the download link for pure data. it's music creation software created as a free version by the author of Max, Miller Puckette.

its so much more than that, but you get the idea

serious sound bizness, this one

and this is the link to Miller's book, Theory and Techniques of Electronic Music Production
