Tools of the Trade
There are numerous tools that are used to do what we do, from graphics and design applications to upload and password management. I have gone through a ridiculous number of different software applications to find what I am ultimately comfortable with, and this list has been considerably expanded since I moved from a PC to a Mac.
Common software that is industry standard:
Macromedia Dreamweaver
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe InDesign
Adobe Acrobat
Adobe ImageStyler
These are some that are just my personal preference:
Western Civilisation Style Master
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Thunderbird
SwishMAX
NeoOffice

These are Mac specific:
