Nope...this installler adds server software to your desktop which lets you connect directly to GDS

Yup...with the added bonus of utilizing GDS

Very cool program, but how can it be free? Its website says its $39.99. The trial version is good for 10 days.

Now Google just needs a PPC version of Google Talk.

Well, they sort of do.

Any jabber enabled chat program can use the google network and logins.

Relax killa, it was only a question. Now I understand, and it turns out that this post was misleading. The title implies that there is a plugin from google for your PPC. It turns out that all it is, is that there is an existing program for your PPC (FilePoint Exchange) that USES the EXISTING Google Desktop search plugin, to allow you to search your desktop PC from your PPC, using FilePoint Exchange.

So, technically, it does cost. You can't use the "Google Desktop Search for your PPC" without purchasing FilePoint. For those of you that have it, great, you can use it, as you already paid for it.

Regardless, its a cool app, and a good find. Just wanted to give out the warning that unless you have FilePoint Exchange, this doesn't do you any good.

Hey. I'll check this out too.

I am plenty relaxed but you don't seem to listen/read what's right in front of you.

You do NOT, repeat, do NOT need Filepoint to use this.

What's so hard to understand about that?

I'm using it, it works, and I dont have shareware pop-ups or nags...so again, what is so hard to understand about that?

Don't make me get the Flying Spaghetti Monster and his noodly appendage to come after you.

Hi,

Nice programme.

However, I clicked on the "Download Plug-in" link, installed everything (and it works very well), but I DID get a nag saying I needed to purchase Filepoint in 10 days.

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks

Martin

Ok, I am beginning to think something changed and I got lucky and downloaded a version without a nag.

Heh. Send it here! Lol!

duckie

that would be against the boards rules.

And no, that does not mean ANYONE should PM me, either.

Sorry, I just won't do it.
