Here are some miscellaneous items that may be of interest to people wanting to do specific things with their Macs.  
Linksys 4-Port Cable/DSL Router: Buy
Share an Internet Connection. If you have a high speed internet connection in your house or small office and you want to share the internet connection with other computers, you need a router. A router is a device that connects to your Cable/DSL modem and then routes parts of the signal to the computers that need it. I've used many Linksys Products. This 4-port (wired) router will serve your needs nicely.
Wacom Intuos 6"x8" Tablet: Buy
Draw With a Pen. For anyone who wants to use their computer for real drawing or for meticulous photo editing, you will want a Wacom Tablet. You can also use a tablet for navigating your computer, using the pen instead of your mouse for pointing and clicking. Wacom has many different tablets to choose from. This Intuos 6"x8" is a mid size and will be appropriate for most people. If you don't need somthing this size, check out the Wacom Graphire3 4"x5" tablet. I own a Graphire3 and use it regularly for easier editing of tricky photo spots and occasional drawing.
M-Audio Keystation: Buy

Play As Any Instrument! With Apple's Garageband the limits of consumer music creation have just been pushed way way up. Garageband is a very easy-to-use program that comes with iLife '04 and provides anyone with a Mac and DVD drive with the ability to create music on their computer. If you add a USB MIDI keyboard, like the M-Audio you can use Garageband to play 100 instruments, right from the keyboard! If you purchase the Garageband Jam Pack, you can play over 200 instruments!
