Hey Folks, In case you'd like something that works (in general) better than Sherlock for simple searching on the web, Watson has been released for free use on the Mac by Karelia:
http://weblog.karelia.com/MacOSX/WatsonStatus.html Here's the deal: Watson was developed for Jaguar. It is one of the best things out there for looking for info on the web w/o searching. When Panther came along, Apple took most of the look and feel from Watson and put it into Sherlock. Never once even mentioned Sherlock as an inspiration. So... Karelia decided that Watson for the Mac was dead, and sold it to Sun, who promised a Java (i.e. platform independent) version of it by, oh, September 2004. Sun instead sat on it, and never developed it. Karelia thought that this was a waste of a good product, and found a loophole in their agreement with Sun which allowed them to give away licenses. Check it out. It is one app I use at least twice every day. Bill | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 25.
