The sad, quiet death of Sherlock

| 5 Comments | No TrackBacks
I have fond memories of Sherlock, Apple's old and venerable se arch utility. He has saved me in many a time of need, and has himself survived many an OS update. But it seems he has finally outlived his usefulness, eclipse d by the upstart 21st century detective Spotlight, who has com e into his own with Leopard. The King is dead! Long live the King! With the introduction of the new OS, Sherlock seems to have completely and tota lly disappeared, spirited away into the ether unceremoniously, without fuss or French horns, although there hasn't really been any official announcement one w ay or the other. Never mind a clean install; if you upgrade from Tiger to Leopa rd, Sherlock is simply erased from your system. Searching for him on the Apple site leads nowhere; he's just vanished from sight, erased from memory. Sniff. A moment of silence, please, for our dear, good, dependable friend Sherlock. Ma y flights of angels sing thee to thy rest...
