Anonymous Unregistered	I use it whenever I need movie times. <br><br>Weather, phone numbers and all that stuff, I would rather go to the individual sites, since I don't like Sherlock's sources. <br><br>

Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 4390	The reason I posted this is because I was just snooping around my hard drive and stumbled over it... and thought, "gee, I never use this!"<br><br>I'm already accustomed to getting all that info while in my browser anyway.<br><br> _________________________

Anonymous Unregistered	Apple should get over the "not invented here" syndrome and buy Watson. Watson is far superior to Sherlock, it's just that it doesn't make much sense for people to pay $30 when they have the free knock-off. <br><br>

TreeBeard Carpal Tunnel Registered: 05/19/01 Posts: 2033 Loc: the ancient forests of MiddleE...	I only ever used Shelock to find stuff on my HD. I always hacked all other channels out, in previous versions..<br>Now that Sherlock does not do this function any more. I would no longer have a use for it. <br><br><br><br> _________________________ but where will we be when the future comes?

MaxMacDonald addict Registered: 02/01/03 Posts: 610 Loc: Toronto	Never. Neither it nor Watson.<br><br>I never really saw the need for it once the search field right in Finder windows came out. All other searches I do via Safari.... Google, Google Canada, IMDB, Toronto.com, Canada 411, currency and linguistic translation sites, etc. I don't want a fancy front-end when I'm on the net looking for something.... it's mostly just eye-candy to me.<br><br>max _________________________ [red]max[/red]
