Here's my list of indispensible INITs & CDEVs...

init cdev 3.0 - a VERY useful tool, great implementation, and only costs a 
		postcard. (NOTE: I think it is REALLY LOUSY that of the tens
		of thousands of Mac users using this cdev, the number of
		postcards is very small. This really shows how lousy many
		human beings are - even Macintosh people)

SUM Shield    - it has been great to be able to recover deleted files,
		especially newly downloaded files, that wouldn't be backed up
		until the end of the day.

Fortune II    - I just LOVE fortune cookies...

SunDesk 1.1   - put some real COLOUR back into your Mac II

Boomerang     - bouncing around frequently used folders and files is GREAT.

Desktop Mgr   - I'm not the only one who HATES waiting two hours to copy a file

Dimmer        - Yeah, I know After Dark is great, but for simple, unimposing
		no-nonsense screen saving, this baby does it well.

Smart Alarms  - This keeps my head on straight. Reminds me to do many things.

SFScrollInit  - Andy Herzfeld came back to Australia and see us some time!

ATM           - Great fonts on a great HP DeskWriter

SuperLaserSpool - Great spooling program

Suitcase II   - gimme more sounds, DAs, Fonts, FKEYs, now, mister. Great!

SuperClock    - very stable program. Nice work.

SCSI Probe    - great for mounting hard disks after the mac has been booted


SO, there it is. At the moment, my inits' icons take up two strips of the 13"
screen.
