What computer accessories and peripherals can't you live without?

At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, out of the box, my MacBook as pretty much everything I need. In contrast. I find the trackpad quite useful. In contrast, for the work-issued BlinkPad, an external mouse is pretty much a must. By definition, it gives my WiFi, a camera, etc.
That said, I pretty much take having a secondary monitor for a given. At work, I have once connected all the time, keeping data on both screens. At home, if I am doing work at my desk, I often have one running. This is handy when trying to refer to data on a web page while working with another program, dedicating a monitor to an e-mail client, or other task.
I find I'm quite fond of USB in general, and hard drives in particular. It's quite handy to be able to pop on a hard drive to do a back up prior to an OS upgrade, archive off some data, or otherwise grab extra space. I wish we had those back when I was doing desktop support for a living.
