Gems I’m thankful for

It's Thanksgiving day here in the U.S., and I want to wish all our U.S. readers a happy holiday. Since Thanksgiving falls on a Thursday, which is also a Mac Gems day on the Macworld calendar, I thought I'd mention a few Gems I'm thankful for--the inexpensive apps and utilities that I use every day to increase my productivity and generally make my Mac-using life a bit better.
