AppRocket - Faster than a speeding finger

Nice review at mrpunkin.com of AppRocket, a Windows program similar to the popular Quicksilver for the Mac.  AppRocket gives you a little typing window that lets you quickly find/open programs, files, browser favorites, songs, and more.  It's not a replacement for a full-fledged search program like X1 and isn't as flexible as a keystroke macro program like ActiveWords, but AppRocket is small, simple and fast.  As a quick way to navigate your files or launch common programs it looks very handy -- and the price is very, very reasonable (under $10!).  Bryan pointed out couple ways it could be improved; hope CandyLabs spots his ideas (hint: take advantage of the buzz and support Firefox).

(By the way, check out Bryan's photo gallery too.  Very nice work.  I really like the porch shot -- the simple construction of the chairs, the texture of the wooden building and the golden reflections in the windows fit together perfectly).
