Why didn’t somebody tell me about this?

Christmas has come early this year. I was just sitting here working out important clinic details, like what reading I’m going to assign and how I am going to get WordPerfect running on the Macs of the clinic students, when I found a magical, transformative little miracle on the Internet. Say you’re a lawyer savvy enough to use WordPerfect because nothing else makes sense. Naturally, you’re running said program with some sort of Windows virtualizer like Parallels or Fusion on your Mac because you wouldn’t use a Dell or a Sony or a Hewlett-Packard any more than you would drive a Prius. Your only problem is that you have a whole bunch of WordPerfect documents stretching all the way back to law school that are not searchable using Spotlight or (pre)viewable using Quicklook. This is really annoying when you know you’ve already researched an issue but can’t remember where you put the motion or when you wrote it or for whom because, let’s face it, we’re not getting any younger, not any of us. Well, some guy—some freakin’ ingenious, Santa Claus-like wizard—has solved that by making two free plug-ins that allow Spotlight to index and Quicklook to preview WordPerfect files. I know, I know. I couldn’t believe it either. The clinic kids are going to totally flip.
