Breakfast Topic: Desert island mod

A few days ago, 1up was asking readers about their "desert island game". You know the scenario, you've probably done this with friends before. It's usually books or CD's or movies, but 1up's article got me to thinking.
Let's say you're stuck in a desert island, you have a gaming laptop powerful enough to play WoW well, and have rigged up solar power and wireless internet. Unfortunately, for the sake of our conversation, your internet and power only work to get your laptop playing WoW, no other outside communication, and you inexplicably forget to ask your guildies to send a rescue plane to your island. Oh, and your account is free.
Hmm, come to think of it, why would anyone WANT to leave this situation?? Great weather, we'll pretend there's ample food, and all the WoW you can handle! It's like a little gamer's paradise there, just hanging out, getting tanned, swimming with little Nemos in the nearby offshore coral reef, finding new and interesting ways to cook fish in coconut milk. Wait, where was I?
Oh yeah, so you're on this island, with your WoW laptop and all that goodness, but you can only bring 1 addon/mod with you (no compilations). What would your addon/mod be, and why?

Not that hard to just move all the addons you want into one single massive addon...

Grid.
Because while I make lots of money from Auctioneer, Grid is the addon that helps me play my class better than I would without it.

Auctioneer. Hands-down. Besides remembering my custom buyouts, it helps me decide what trash to throw away if my bags are full, which alts get what mats and what I really should DE because the AH deposit is crazily high... I'd be really poor without it. ^^

Druid bar, I dont realise how much I rely on knowing how much mana I have when I'm in form until I read this thread.

Probably Advanced Trade Skill Window. I can't imagine having a crafting tradeskill without it these days. Especially if you're an engineer.
I would say TitanBar, but do I also get all the addons I use with it?

I'm one of those people that has to have my Titan Panel.
Everything else can be endured or dealt with, though not having Bartender would suck.

@24, I believe the functionality of EquipCompare is being incorporated into the default 2.1 UI.
I'd have to go with Auctioneer.

when we used to have patches every freaking hour, i couldn't play without this thing being updated for whatever version had just been put out...and i still can't.

@27, that's good news indeed. Long overdue. Thanks for the heads up.
I'll change my vote to RatingBuster. Can limp along without anything else, swearing the whole time, but that pair is *required* for my sanity.

I'll have to go with Clique. I could manage to raid heal in the default UI, but w/o click casting I might go insane.

Canned blood elf chicks with a ring pull :P
