If money was no object and you had no technical limitations with your computer, what software would you have installed on your computer to use as a photographer?

I’ll start with the list of what I have and some that I’d like to have. I will update the list with any suggestions that others come up with in the thread:

Software Packages
Photoshop CS5
Lightroom 3
Photomatix Pro 4
Proshow Gold 4.5
Nikon Capture NX2
Portrait Professional

Photoshop Plugins
Alien Skin Bokeh
Imagenomic Noise Reduction
Nik Colour Efex Pro
Nik Silver Efex Pro
Nik Sharpener Pro
Nik HDR Efex Pro

Also, are there any downloadable photoshop actions that you find particularly useful and would recommend? Please provide links if possible.

Although I have Lightroom 3, I’m not particularly good at using it. Does Lightroom also have downloadable plugins and actions to be recommended?
 
Actually I'd have something similar to Rob, but without capture nx as I don't use Nikons that much.
 
I've tried tons over the years but the ones I use mostly are ones I made myself, I do like the totally rad actions, and their dirty pictures is quite good too (not what it sounds)

Probably my favorite "goodie" is a script to open the image in ACR from photoshop itself, I have it set to a hotkey so one click and the pic I working on is open in camera raw.
 
I would stick with Lightroom and then another Adobe programme with content aware fill, as that is all I ever seem to use. I prefer to spend as little time as possible processing.
 
God i have loads and still want a few.
Heres what i have

CS5
Various plugins including most of the Alien skin ones and Nik softwares
Also have quite a few actions from Florabella, MCP and some others that i can't remember.

Lightroom and again i've installed a few presets although i can't quite remember the names.

My 'wants' at the moment are some actions from paint the moon and some from Florabella and MCP.
