" I've heard about Spotlight...sounds similar to Google Desktop Search or MS's recent desktop search tool. "
its similar but it actually works and its built into the os so its way less resource intensive, i remember trying the google one on my pc which there is 768mb or ram on and it dogged it out. In spotlight everything is added instantly, seemlessly you dont even know its working. That was also the point behind winfs I believe was to basically mimic the file system and how it can be indexed like a mac does it but you dont gotta worry bout that now........ The whole windows vs apple is what it is but the thing i always see is that ppl try to compare winxp against mac os9 and they have no or little knowledge of the current osx. And all you got to do is compare what ms is "trying" to do with vista and see its just basic stuff osx has had for years now. Hell I thought the same thing about macs... back in my medical days I had to work on them and hated them just so damn ugly then the i can.d girls were at my house all the time with their apple powerbooks and I still wouldnt even look at them as I was moving to linux. Then one day i did and started playing with it and was blown away. And what I like is that I get to play with all the current stuff today, I just dont get why ppl stay on old os's like win2000 when they could be enjoying the goodies of today, i mean do the people that do that still listen to walkmans (with cassetes). I think Ray Camden said it right when he said "now that osx is my os I am finally excited about the os that i am on..."

Those do sound like really useful tools. I do my batch photo processing through Photoshop's Batch processing function. It does save a *ton* of time on those tedious photo processing chores. I've heard about Spotlight...sounds similar to Google Desktop Search or MS's recent desktop search tool. I've had a friend who Media Production Manager for an International Corporation who uses both Windows and Macs for video production and he's been trying to convince me to go Apple for years...so I'm used to the Mac vs. Windows debate...we have a lot of fun with it... Thanks for the info! :o) Rick -----Original Message----- From: dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 11:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Which version of CF should I download? well it would at least "just work" :) Mac's just come with so much cool stuff, the possiblities are really endless to what you can do and how it improves your work flow. In your situation what would be cool is how simple this situation would become. Lets say you move site A to cfmx7 and you find a common piece of your coding that breaks and you fix it, if you were on OSX you could open up spotlight and put in a piece of that code and it would show you every single place that that code is and you could open them up right there and replace it and it would certainly get you through that much faster!. For example the other day i wanted an easy way to batch photos for the myalix site. OSX has a deal called automator (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/automator/), in about 45 seconds I built an automator that sits on my desktop and what I do is take a folder of pix, usually about 90-400 a set and drop it on the icon and the automator opens up photoshop and resizes them and watermarks them and spits them into a temp folder and when thats done it opens up fireworks and optimizes them (since fw is WAY better at compression than ps) and spits them back out into a folder on my desktop and they are all done ready to go. Takes about 4 minutes with 200 photos, I was spending about 5-7 hours doing it by hand before. Well i better stop there b4 the vermin start spitting ~Dave - formerly known as "the disruptor"~ ---------------------------------------- From: "Rick Faircloth" Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 10:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Which version of CF should I download? I hear ya...I just downloaded Apache, CFMX7, DW8, and Fireworks and will probably install it all tomorrow...then the fun will really begin! :o) And if I were just installing it on a Mac, I would be in tech nirvana, huh?
