Initially I thought it didn't work well for me either, it crashed the machine, but as I guessed correctly that was due to it trying to access parts of my disk which were corrupted. After repairing the disk it indexed it in a few days and since then (April 2008) it has been working like a charm. Being able to Google one's own disk as easily as the internet feels paradoxically quite extraordinary. Particularly useful when it contains a vast collection of text mode or OCR'd pdf papers unavailable on the web! Michel
