These tasks should expose the need for easy search and easy sharing interface.
Nat uses the search applet to find the document in question by typing “beagle release schedule”. Since he has a number of documents containing this string, he refines the search by adding “last week” to the query, since he knows he finalised the document sometime last week.
Because Nat wants to share only a snipplet of the text and not the complete document, he doubleclicks the name of the document to bring up OpenOffice.
Nat selects the part of the document that includes the release schedule and selects Edit>Share from the menu.
JImmac uses the quicksearch applet to find the image in question.
Jimmac drags the image from the quicksearch popup to the IM conversation window.
