During his time away, there have been some changes, of course, so things will be a bit different around here now. Since Macworld has an excellent feature called MacGems that focuses on interesting and useful OS X programs, we've decided to combine the PotW with MacGems. What that means is that you'll still see a PotW here each week (typically on Monday), but you'll see a mix of stuff that's newly discovered by yours truly, as well as pointers to stuff that other Macworld editors have uncovered that I find worth mentioning.
In both cases, I'll post a short summary of the program here, and then link to the full review in the MacGems section of Macworld's site. So while the blurbs here may be a bit shorter than they have been in the past, the articles that I'll link to will provide much more detail, as you'll see if you keep reading.

After installing it and using it for only a few minutes, I was hooked. This program has already saved my fingers miles of typing, given the number of things that I type over and over again. It worked great in Carbon, Cocoa, and even Java apps; I was suitably impressed.
For the full story on this very useful program, read my writeup on yesterday's MacGems.
