It has some advanced options that the Finder doesn't. I installed it once but went back to the normal one because I really didn't want finding my files to be complex.
I think the Finder won't be evolving much more. Spotlight will take over. In the keynote Steve said "I know a lot of people will never use the Finder again" or something like that. However Pathfinder is a pretty cool alternative.
I can usually find all the files to an app just by searching for the app name and company name in Finder. The developers hide the demo files sometimes, but you're not trying to thwart that.
Well, the interface is nice, but i can't make the damn thing do anything! No matter what the 'Commit Changes' option is greyed out. Is that a demo limitation, or am I just awsomely stupid?
No, not that I know of. But there is a mac version of Messenger if you actually wanted that and weren't just using it as an example. It's at mactopia.com
Sounds like it just broadcasts everything more. That would slow down what it sends but make sure more gets there. Or it scans more thuroughly at the computer end.
It doesn't sound like you really need one, you're just curious. My advice would be to keep the pc and when you upgrade get a mac instead. Go to compUSA or the apple store to look if you want. Oh, and if you do get one get it on ebay as it's WAY cheaper.
Reinstalling Panther desn't take long if you use the Archive and Install option. It just means putting the disks in and some minor pref adjustments afterwards.
No, but they just came out with a new version that lets you queue up files, go somewhere else, and start the transfer from the recieving end. That should make things a lot easier than when you had to have both open at once.
I love wormhole, but 30 bucks was a little much. That's why I got my dad to pay for it. ;) It's a great app, so simple anyone can use it, and it works a bit faster than most network copying.
"I think Apple should have bought out Connectix, personally. Then we could have had 'Windows Classic'"
I thought I was the only one who thought that! Wouldn't it be wonderful...
