"Spotlight for Mac OS X Tiger lets you blaze through all of your files
and applications and see results as soon as you type the very first
letter"

Does it now? Only if you type at about 1 second per letter on my
non-Intel Powerbook!

Let's pretend I'm trying to find an application. I Command-Space and
type in the application name, watch it find all sorts of crap, and
then only three seconds later show the actual application I was
searching for.

[Sidenote: command is the key with the apple and bit of string
on. Option is the one labelled "Alt" and the frying pan]

Three seconds to find something which you should know is already
there, because I typed it in not so long ago and I search for a few
times a day? Hateful!

Even "locate" is faster. Back to Quicksilver we go, Leon
