Continuing my new-found love-affair with the Apple Mac, here's a neat little utility that filled a gap for me.
"NuFile(pronounced new-file (Nu is a greek letter)) is a contextual menu plugin. It adds a new file menu when you right click at a folder(ie: desktop or Finder background); just like what you can do in Windows. With this menu, you can create an empty file of your favourite type with just two clicks. It's a time saver especially if you have a two-button mouse...."
