Following on from the "Where are you from" and "Favourite Effects" "Pointing Devices" etc etc it may seem overkill to survey "Software Tools" but feel free.

FTP
Html Editors
Sound Editors
Image Editors
SWF effects
Anything else you care to mention.

Hoi Jofta, what do you like the most?
Ftp: Windows Commander, I can really reccomend this tool it does alot more than just ftp, ea; zip, unzip, filecommander,
almost everything what win explorer can do and a lot more, works real fast.
Sound editor: Sonic Foundry Sound Forge
Graphic: Adobe Photoshop, Jasc Paintshop Pro
Swf effects: The transform effect
Essential tools I use in conjunction with SWiSH:
Photoshop 6
Dreamweaver 4
Word 2000
WS_FTP PRO
Flix 1.52
Cool Edit Pro
Fruity Loops 3
FTP: CoffeeCup FTP though I preferred Voyager (lost in reformat & couldn't be bothered lookin' for it)
HTML: Just started using Dreamweaver 4
Graphics: PaintShop Pro 7 (been using PSP since v4 and very comfortable with it)
Sound: SoundForge 5 (but a novice user)
SWF: Swish (of course!)... still can't drive Flash 5.
Would like to try Swift 3d too but they don't offer a demo version (tried a friend's Xara 3d, but wasn't amazed or astounded by it)
