I personally use a MAC Professional MKS-105 carving knife, a #4L scalpel handle and #70 scalpel blades, 10" Russian tissue forceps, 8" curved Mayo scissors and a 6"/15cm stainless steel ruler for every case.
My personal computer is a 15" MacBook Pro with the optical drive swapped out for an OWC SSD.

We also use the Office suite for email, word processing, etc.

Our office just migrated to a new custom-designed platform based on UVIS which is called UVIS-CMS.

We use Windows XP desktops and I imagine all the backend stuff is Microsoft as well.
I use EndNote X3 as a citation/reference manager for my scholarly work.
We use VeriPic's Digital Photo Lab/Digital Evidence Manager software package for image management - however, photo support has been rolled into CMS.
