Hi Boog,
	
	1. I'm the author of Aether, so I'm obviously biased, but I think it's pretty good: http://www.aetherlog.com/ It doesn't support the Pegasus, but I'm working on adding support.

	2. Both cocoaModem and fldigi are good. cocoaModem is the more "Mac like" of the two (and is indeed a Mac-only program), while fldigi is more powerful. Both can be setup to integrate with Aether or another logging program.

	I'm not an SSTV op, so I can't recommend anything there.

	As for other software, Sergei, KD6CJI has a cool QSL card creator program: http://web.me.com/kd6cji/MacSSTV/QSL-Studio.html . He also writes MultiScan, which others have recommended for SSTV. Chris, N3JLY also has lots of cool ham software for the Mac: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/ . Finally, there's the Mac Ham Radio website, which has information about lots of ham software for the Mac: http://machamradio.com/ .

	Enjoy your new Mac!
