    Hi all.

    I got my MBP about 10 days ago and I love it. I would like to get a file manger with functionality similar to Windows Explorer. I browsed the Apple's downloads section and there are a few choices but I need you suggestions for the best option freeware, shareware or demo.

    Thanks.

    I downloaded pathfinder. It is a lot nicer than finder. Well, after years of the flexibility of explorer, I found finder a bit balky. I got used to it but would often resort to Spotlight or QS to find something quickly.

    Pathfinder is very nice. But is it $35 nice? I'll spend some more time with it over these next 21 days and see if it makes the cut, especially now when things are tight around here.
