Shawn, Would you consider sharing your local aliases file with us so we can get some ideas on more creative ways to use the toolbar. :-)
I too really depend on the toolbar, but I'm sure that there are many things I should use it for that I don't currently. Tony -----Original Message----- From: Shawn K.

I started 'moving' from Detroit to Chicago then to CA about 3 months ago - in the mean-time it all hit the fan and I haven't had ANY time to even read my email. I'm catching up now, but am using a horrifically SLOW dial-up connection (*when* it works) and DSL was pushed back until th 6th - so I won't even have a 'real' connection for another week. DQSD HAS NOT BEEN ABANDONED. Even if nobody else is interested in it, I WILL be continuing work on DQSD - developing new features and stomping bugs - as long as I have any interest in the JavaScript language (which will probably be a VERY long time). I use DQSD for almost everything I do now: loading programs locally (instead of the start menu); performing common tasks (anything that can be controlled via a command-line); and of course - I also use it to search for things online - but that's really become a secondary function for me. DQSD is everything from my scratch pad to my windows explorer view - I *need* it to use Windows. Also, I'm using a Mac at work now (not by choice, but at least it's OSX - so there IS hope), and I intend to create a port of DQSD to Linux at some point in time. That way I can use it for all those menial tasks both at work and at home. It'd be nice to be the first tool of this kind to breach the OS-barrier, too. I also intend to make a trimmed down version of DQSD that can be run COMPLETELY from a regular browser window - so someday you may hit dqsd.net and be able to 'run' DQSD without even having it installed. > ...there are certain capabilities of the toolbar that I > personally cannot do without which are yet to be delivered > with other competing toolbars with active development. Exactly. DQSD is far ahead of the game. However, it still has some issues that need corrected, and I will be working on those as soon as I have a reliable (heck, I'd probably even settle for unreliable right now - as long as I had a 1 in 5 chance of getting online when I tried) connection I'll resume active participation in the community.
