Oh - I guess that answers my question. I'm sure I tried that once too. I think Azureus's interface is fine.

OK, I have no idea what's going on here - I often have 20 or more on the go no problem.

Is Explorer (or Windows) heading in this direction though? I know they've stolen cues from Apple in the past but I can't see them letting old users go f*ck themselves like seems to be the case with OS X.
I think I don't like my computer making me it's bitch via substandard 'browsing'/database uber alles/shitty jack-of-all, master-of-none apps.

Azareus was problematic for me. ThenI was using Bits On Wheels for a bit, but I switched to TorrentStation and liked it so much I actually bought a copy.

Windows is supposed to be heading in that direction soon. The first big steps that way are going to be made in the Vista interface, which may well get backported to XP if noone bothers to buy Vista much.
Originally, this was going to tie in with the full release of WinFS, which should make it easier and more efficient to do that kind of thing. And WinFS is going to be released real soon now. Honest. No, really. Hahahah.
(Microsoft have been promising it for well over ten years - according to Wikipedia, it was originally going to be released with NT4)

The search speed on local disks is about the same for the Finder and Explorer; Explorer does pretty readily let you search on keywords in the content and all metadata fields for any file, though, which is pretty impressive.
YMMV as always, I'm just saying.

But then the file browser isn't horribly broken. So you can get by without ever needing to use search 99% of the time!

However, does ayone know if VMWare are going to produce a product for OS X on intel. If I can run windows apps from within the OS (with good access to the graphics card) then I can run my work apps and persuade work to contribute to the cost of the machine.
Not just VMWare, you understand, but the demo versions of our video apps need a fair bit of graphics power, or rather, fast graphics memory to work well.

by mouse do you mean trackpad? a slightly damp - not wet, just slightly damp - cloth should do the trick. don't use any cleaning products.
i'm not even going to ask where the motherboard comes into this.

I can vouch for this since last night... my nano looks a lot better now, but quite not perfect. I got bored, frankly, it takes AGES to work, but in *most* lights it now looks nearly new again, or rather used (if you stare hard) but not abused.
Worked on my phone display too.
