Where Are The Wise Men?

Okay, you read the subject, here is what I was thinking:

1. Spotlight is sloowww. At least for me.
2. I only use QuickSilver to launch apps. It does lots of other cool things but, overall, I personally only use it for launching apps.
3. Quicksilver takes a long time to appear. And crashes randomly. For no reason and/or warning.

I read about a new Google Desktop for Mac and decided to give it a shot. I watched the video and decided to give it a shot.

The install was nice and the results were nicer. Quick to come up, and quicker to find my applications and documents. So I disabled Spotlight and things were running faster. When I dragged Quicksilver to the trash, I felt a bit liberated.

Does this mean I’m a Mac weenie? Perhaps. But I have immense respect for a machine I can configure and run my way.

And, when I upgrade to Leopard (which will not be for a while) than I may re-enable Spotlight since it seems to work better there. But now, in my Tiger world, I’m on Google Desktop
