Seriously, the only things I start on boot are X3 (a CPU monitor) and the Clock in the Dock. Heh, that's funny. Clock in the Dock... OK, I think it's time for me to cut off the caffeine supply.
I'm not much of a leave programs on all the time kinda guy, I guess it's still my mac os 9 roots showing...for some reason I usually quit and restart programs as necessary.
Hey i'm still getting used to leaving my powerbook on all week...so I guess i'll do it in baby steps
When I do open up programs it's usually in this order: Mail, Adium, IE, iTunes
These programs stay on until i'm done using the computer, then I quit them all...
