Need proof against petty discouragements

The secong time in a year I got stuck with the flying saucer. Several reinstalls later my Powerbook is going back to Apple.

From The riddle of the sands by Erskine Childers

"The main issue was not seriously in question, for I had signed on in the Dulcibella (read Apple Mac for me) for good or ill; but in doing so I had outrun myself, and still wanted an outlook, a mood suited to the enterprise, proof against petty discouragements."

QuickSilver - A new way of interacting with the computer

There is a lot buzz around QuickSilver. I don't know how to best describe what it does, but once installed I can do a search and the system launches an application within its context.

Lets say I am looking for person with an entry in address book, email, itunes, or a recent web search.

By invoking QuickSilver with space-command and typing in my search criteria, QuickSilver then will give me an option to launch an application to see the address, send an email, play an itunes playlist, or go to the previously searched url.
