Great questions yesterday!

I'm going to have to go with #christhomson

I love really involved questions which can potentially offer folks a butt-load of help. Out of all of the questions, I think @christhomson's delivered the most helpful answers for people seeking out the "essential" apps for their new OS.

All of the questions are great though! It was a hard choice today.
Asker's Rating:
• Looks like it's a tie today between DAVEPAMN with 5 votes and CHRISTHOMSON with 5 votes! Well done to both!

We've had the browser question before, and we've had lots of work-at-home questions before.

The "five programs you'd install first" looks interesting, but once you get into the answers, you realise the programs mentioned are the same old stuff which everyone needs, and you haven't learned anything much. (Office suite, browser, media player, anti-virus, some kind of mesaging or social app.)

Anyway, you can't say that we've done black holes to death on Mahalo! :)

I like your picture of a black hole. But shouldn't there be a bunny falling into it? Or is that black bunny I can just make out...?

Its a black bunny on a black background... you have to turn up the contrast and brightness on your LCD and if that doesn't work, just shake the monitor...

I'm beginning to feel under intense pressure here to always be funny. It creates this pull that's so hard that I can hardly see anything. Gosh it's hot in here!

I have a set of programs I always install first, and it's neat to see what other people choose first. We all have bloatware on our system, so these are the programs we find to be essential to our lives.

Interesting question. That is something that I think a lot of people are familiar with. The 1st programs you install are usually the most important so I'm looking forward to seeing the answers.
