10.4: Use unique Spotlight comments for fast launches
Authored by: cobalty on Jun 27, '05 05:47:52PM

In response to the two above comments, I think this is a useful hint because of the wide difference between "regular" and "power" users. I personally am in the latter camp and use LaunchBar and a number of other highly useful apps. However, most of these require that you be able to change the way that you think about your operating system.

If I have a friend or family who want a mac (I'm awful good at convincing them to get one), I'll set it up as close to the defaults as possible. I could use this hint to get them used to Spotlight. After a while they see me working on my computer and want to know how I did this or that and I introduce them to new programs as they ask about them. Another time is when they complain about a problem that can be fixed with one of the programs.

Often, they are very happy with things just the way they are. There's nothing happier than a comptuer user who's computer does what they expect it to.
