QuickSilver trick (OS X only)

I just ran into a Quicksilver feature that lets you launch another instance of a program without having had to make a copy of the application so we can copy/paste between different files.
This eliminates having extra copies of the AC app in the application folder.

Here is another quick launcher for MAC OSX
Show scripts icon on the task bar using apple scripts utility in your applications folder. Then Place aliases to your frequent applications (Or in a folder name?) inside your user scripts folder under home/library/scripts. A click on the scripts icon will reveal all.
