Before leaving Apples Soho store last week, I went up to the employee nearest me (a young woman about 20) and the following brief conversation took place.
Me: I realize it may be ignored by many and underutilized by even more, but do you know whether or not the application Sherlock will continue to be supported once Leopard is released in late October? I have always liked it and hope it stays around.
Employee: I think that is very unlikely it will be seen again.
Me: Really? So youve heard something about this?
Employee: No, but since it has not been supported in Tiger, I cannot see it being brought back in the new OS later this year.
Me: I am unable to stay and continue our discussion since I must get back to my office now. However, if you take a few moments to look in the Applications folder, you will see that Sherlock did not die when Tiger was released. Perhaps the future is bleak, but there still may be a glimmer of hope given that it still exists.
She had a look of utter bewilderment as if she had just spoken to the most misinformed person to ever enter that store. Has anybody heard anything concerning Sherlocks survival in Leopard?
