Re: Key word coloring for .txt files

Forget about Google Desktop. While writing this email, I was reading the
latest updates on the tools I mentioned, and Google Desktop has been
discontinued. It is not a cloud application.... Ah right. Copernic (without
the us as I wrote before) is very nice too and there is a free edition.
