Ok, so you're banging around in Mac OS X and you come across something that you do ALL the time, and you go "Gah! I wish there were a utility that would do this FOR me!"

Or you're sitting at home doing something on paper and you go "Gah! I wish there were a digital utility that could do this for me!"

I'm a mac developer looking for ideas for a utility(Please no "AutoCAD for mac" posts, please - I'm a single developer). The prize for the best entry (and the one that I end up developing) is a free copy of the eventual product. Oooooh! Schwag

Go crazy. Thanks in advance.
Apple Macintosh isn't just a computer or operating system - it's a way of life...

I'd pay a prrrretty penny for OS 9-type pop-up windows. I miss them.

I've seen a couple attempts for OS X, both crummy.

"'Jelly Hat' sounds silly," I told Prince. "How about something poetic, like 'Raspberry Beret.'"

AutoCAD for mac
(OS 9 pop-up windows would also be nice, but I like DragThing)

Rather simple. I need somehting that

1) does the dishes
2) does the kitchen
3) makes good coffee (Dunkin' Donuts style)
4) brings out the trash

Can you do that ?
I'd pay good money !
