One of the many advantages of Ubuntu to old codgers like me and those of 
us who depend on our computer for passing the time is the vast range of 
free software and applications available to be tried and tested. Mostly 
these are easy to install and uninstall and generally work with the 
hardware we have. Sometimes, like Mythtv for example, it is necessary to 
get a new bit of hardware but the cost of such is relatively minimal. I 
get tremendous pleasure from applications such as the Gimp, the many 
sound and video applications and if I want to use something which 
requires Widows then I will see if it will work in Crossover Office. 
(Note, Crossover is not free but what you pay goes to help the 
developers of Wine). 

Come on Ubuntu users, let's hear of all the things you like to use and 
what gives you pleasure. Stop lurking and come out.

gnuCash is quite cool.. saves tons of time when I'm doing my personal accounts. 

Tomboy Notes, just because I have a memory like a sieve for small details (I have to have a written todo-list pad on my desk at work). 

Playing with GIMP is also good.. you don't quite realise how powerful it can be till you start playing (Layers > Colours ... is very useful...)
