I wonder if Sherlock will make the transition and still be part of Leopard. Many are not familiar with it and it may be one of the most underutilized applications, but I do regularly use it when I stop at an Apple Store. I hope it is supported and lives to see another OS.

Gosh...I haven't used Sherlock in so long. In fact, I took it off my computer. But IIRC, don't you need to set a location for the movie showtimes portion?

I can't remember if it automatically takes it from somewhere else in the system or you have to enter your Zip Code in the Sherlock preferences or something like that. If she's done that and it still doesn't work, then I don't know what the problem is.

IIRC a lot of the stuff on Sherlock went unsupported after Tiger released.
Widgets are the successor to Sherlock.

So Sherlock is on the way out?

Yup, I just checked on it:

Sherlock was replaced by Spotlight and Dashboard in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, although Apple continued to include it with the default installation. Since most of the standard plug-ins for Sherlock provided by Apple itself no longer function, it may be officially retired and removed by the release of Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard in 2007.
