Sherlock

Sherlock was introduced in System 7.5.

have apple stopped supporting sherlock now? ...

My system fails, and I mean fails, after using sherlock. cmd-f to find, and boom. I called apple, I had reset the nvram, I had zapped the pram, I had cleared the cache with system optimizer x, I had reset permissions, i had used disk utility to fix disc. Nothing. They told me to reinstall the os, but I had already done that too. I still have the problem Also, this...

I have OS 10.4, which I just loaded last week. RSS newsfeeds automatically loaded into my NEWS bookmark, so it's interesting that other RSS feeds can be accessed through Sherlock (I didn't look there since I assumed it was all in the News section). Is there any way to arrange and edit the RSS feeds by topic and to edit individual RSS headers? It looks like they can...

I never noticed it before, but yes, it's that way for me, too. It's just like old Sherlock searching: slooooow.

You can definitely connect OS 9 and OS X through Ethernet. I did a major backup of my old Power Mac 9600 (OS 9.1) to my Mac Mini (10.4) just last week. It was, however, a little tricky. It seems that OS X can't load OS 9's shared folders over AppleTalk (at least Tiger can't). However, it can mount them over IP, and OS 9 can access OS X's over AppleTalk just fine (go figure). ...

Dashboard. Well, I am getting used to it and the weird way it runs. I was a fan of Sherlock and actually used it all the time, before the support for it seemed to just drop off the face of the earth. I want my local movies back! ...
