An email client.
POP3, APOP, IMAP4rev1, mh, SMTP, SMTP AUTH, NNTP, SSL/TLS, OpenPGP, external editors, filtering, muliple identities. Good multilanguage and character set support.
Sylpheed is bafflingly bad in places, and Claws Mail was a welcome improvement. This relationship reminds me a lot of PCManFM versus PCManFM-mod (which later became SpaceFM).

was watir.com
A functional testing tool for automating browser-based tests of web applications. It drives the Internet Explorer browser the same way people do. It clicks links, fills in forms, presses buttons. It also checks results, such as whether expected text appears on the page.
I did some simple website testing with it.

A remote-control tool that can be used without firewall configuration. Port scanner and Trace Route, drag&drop files, get system passwords, Power-down or Wake-Up remote PCs.
By far the most impressive piece of software I’ve ever used. It’s tiny and does the impossible. But it made enemies.
It was said to be coming out for OS X, but never did.

A console file manager of some sort.
Tried twice. Both times 2005-06-19 or earlier. No version was recorded, and no notes were taken, aside from “it’s not intuitive”.

http://www.pclinuxos.com/
What was, and probably still is, an extremely beautiful and easy to use distribution. Where Slackware had long-held the title “it just works”, PCLinuxOS does that for users who are completely new to Linux.
From its earliest days its hardware detection was renown, its suite of software astounding, and its remastering capability extraordinary.
It was my daily driver for a long time.
Was nicknamed “pclos” for years.
