He told me that he’s not even posting about mobile tech anymore, and at this point he’s moved on to blogging mostly about writers and writing.

I can’t say your comment surprises me, James. Mike is a pretty, shall we say, eccentric guy. His site’s a trip, and he makes a ton of posts a day.

Well, hopefully someday he’ll drop by and entertain us with some of his comments again someday.

He apparently decided to not come here anymore, as far as we can tell.

What happened to Mike Cane? He used to be a post machine around here. I can’t remember the last time I saw one of his comments.

The preview window is what’s key for me. No grad student should be without it!

It seems a resource hog. Is there a way to fine tune the service? When enabled, I see CPU constantly spiking and HD spinning. There is a Vista gadget on/off switch for indexing and wonder would it help.

But at the same time I can see the point if the users dont (for whatever reason) have an option to do this.
