Re: spotlight search is wonderful!
What does the Mac do that Windows doesn't? I am just curious and wonder how Snow Leopard compares to Windows 7, we use XP at work (awful) but not used 7 yet. You can email me off list if you prefer.

Re: spotlight search is wonderful!
Yes, but you can also use Spotlight to get definitions for words. Write any word in the search field, and you will get a definition list with related words and a description/explanation of the term. Try for example with the word hilarious and see the result. Also, you can use Spotlight as a quick calculator. Write 2+2 or 24/8 in the search field, and you will get the result 2+2=4 and 24/8=3.

Re: spotlight search is wonderful!
spotlight is like a stripped down version of quicksilver. alas, most of qs is accessible except the list of files which presents a small problem... If anyone has found a way around this, please let me know. On Jul 9, 2010, at 9:04 AM, Donna Goodin wrote: Oh, that's cool! I never knew that. thanks!

RE: spotlight search is wonderful!
Do you know, I was thinking about that very issue earlier and decided that yet another ms feature has to be ditched right now. I know of a PC search that will work better, but the idea of one OS that just does what I want it to in a pretty consistent way gets more appealing by the day. I get my hands on on Friday next week, and by the way we've had to close booking for that session due to its popularity, but I've already gone from wondering how to do basic things in Mac to wishing I had it right now when Windows doesn't do what I want.
