Whenever I use Desktop Search to find Gmail messages, once I click on them, my browser opens and I get the “can’t display this webpage” message, because I’m not connected.

That is a good idea. I’ve used Gmail exclusively ever since Outlook locked up and locked me out. As far as the desktop feature goes, it does seem to slow my computer down somewhat as well. Oh, well, at least it has helped me find some of my files faster!

I hope Google Desktop gets ported to Linux.

A company with dedicated security staff will almost always do better than an individual. It’s safer than one’s (theft-prone) wallet, and certainly safer than one’s (worm and theft-prone) laptop hard drive.

Aren’t you at all concerned about storing account numbers and passwords in a free public online service?

yeah I love & use Gmail for that very same reason – being able to Search + Find stuff!!

i think i tried Google Desktop Search but i thought it was slowing my puter down???

of course i hardly had any RAM on my old notebook – & now that i’ve got 2 GIG maybe that won’t slow things*
