I'm finally joining the 21st century w/ the rest of you & now have high speed internet through Charter cable + a Linksys WRT54G (spelling) & am enjoying it so far...any "killer apps" I need to be aware of or have? I'm not a computer novice by any means, but am fairly ignorant of a lot of "Internet" stuff, such as Bittorrent, Wikipedia, etc...I have very little idea what they do or are used for...I would very much welcome anyone chiming in w/ things that they just could not live without that pertain to high speed internet!fun stuff, useful stuff, anything!my chief interests are gaming & image editing & that sort of thing, but anything / any suggestions are more than welcome! the subjects are so broad that googling brings up too much! thanks much in advance!

bittorent is a great means of accessing files and data

streaming video is fun. Watch all of the billions of stupid movies on the internet.
