...Let's face it: DragStrip is to Power what a utility belt is to Batman. 

MacWorld

	...For those who like to see their choices all laid out in front 
of them, DragStrip is it.  Its button strips are compact and it's 
a separate application (no extensions headaches here).
	...It's easy to assign buttons a function via drag and drop, and 
many buttons can display popup lists of folders and documents.  
Since I'm trying to go mouseless, I especially like being able to 
select strips, navigate from button to button and "click on" buttons 
without using the keyboard.

	Specialized tiles do things like change speaker volume or monitor 
settings, pop up a calendar, or, interestingly, route a drag-and-dropped 
file to a predefined destination folder
....For great screen-clutter-to-features ratio, I'll take DragStrip. 
That's right: there's a new launcher at my pad.

TidBITS

	[DragStrip] enables you to create sets of launcher tiles ... but with 
numerous enhancements, such as the ability to attach recently used 
documents to an application launcher tile, and hotspots that bring your 
strips to the foreground. DragStrip takes the genre to its peak for 
the moment, and supports its own DragStrip Additions (for changing 
monitor depth, sound volume, and so on) and Control Strip modules, 
which were previously only accessible on a desktop Mac with Desktop 
Strip.

	I find that I use the launching and switching functions of DragStrip 
all the time, but have not yet begun to tap the many other resources 
it offers.  This tool allows organization beyond your average wildest 
dream, but doesn't require you to use any feature you don't want.

MacSciTech Journal

	The power and time savings of the DragStrip approach really kicks 
in when you include folders in the strip.  Click and hold on a folder 
and hierarchical menus will show the folder's contents and allow you 
to directly launch applications.  This approach not only saves time 
but also reduces mouse motion and associated fatigue.

DragStrip is now an indispensable part of my Windows 95 system. I use it more than any other utility. In fact, I use it so much that my Start menu is sprouting cobwebs.

"DragStrip has fulfilled its promise: my desktop is cleaner and more organized, my Apple Menu is much less cluttered, and I don't have to navigate through a maze of windows and folders in the Finder. In short, my desktop is more sophisticated - I have nearly instant access to everything I want! I tossed out Square One within a week."

"Life was a drag without it."

"DragStrip is the first thing I launch when I start my machine. On my powerbook, where screen space is at a premium, it saves filling the screen with unneeded windows. It's rapidly becoming a utility I wouldn't want to be without."

"Dragstrip is Launcher on steroids. It's made for power-users who want to get around their system in a hurry, and not have to wait for other things to be done. With DragStrip I can get the Finder doing copies, responding to scripts etc. and still be able to launch my apps and open my files."
- Dave MacLachlan, NightFall Software Inc.
