     An NDA named "File Manager" by Jeff Hartkopf has not received much 
mention; yet, it has, for years, been a convenient, reliable way for GS users 
to handle the task of changing filetype.

     For hardware, my nominee is a product named "Paddle-Adapple" from 
Southern California Research Group. It allows Apple II users to connect two 
two-button joysticks and can be 'programmed' (via jumpers) for different X-Y 
and button configurations.
