SKYHORSE  Works as advertised--I misunderstood the directions. When placed in Applications, the app will run from the menu bar, and will persist there. It does save several steps in opening specific files, and does seem to open NeoOffice faster than Neo does coming up on its own. Very nice product.

SKYHORSE  Great idea--if only it worked better. It works fine when you open the .dmg file and then open the NOMu icon. It installs itself in your menu bar and you can then select both to have it come on at open and a hotkey combo. You then have to close it in order to toss the NOMu drive icon you installed it with. And it works fine once in the menu bar--even opens NeoOffice faster than normal, and to a file you select. However, when you close the drive icon, it closes the app in the menu bar. When you log back in, there's no NOMu item in the menu bar and none in Apps or Utilities. You have to start over. So it ends up being MORE steps to open your file in NeoOffice. Sigh.
