Finding a program on a MAC after dragging it off the dock?
Hey, I'm only mildly (at best) proficient with a Mac, and I lost a file and now I can't find it and I'm hoping someone knows how. I was rearranging the desktop and playing with the dock when I dragged the GarageBand icon out of the dock with the intent of putting it on the desktop. SO, I drag it outta there and when I release the mouse button, I saw a little poof of smoke and the GarageBand icon was gone. I'm sure I didn't permanently delete it, but I'm not good enough with a Mac to know where it is, how to get it back on the dock, how to run a proper search for it.
So could someone please tell me how to find this "lost-but-not-really-lost" program? And any little fun tips you want to give on the dock would be great as well.
Thanks!

Its in the Application folder in the harddrive icon.
Note: The hard drive is not a forbidden place like it is on windows, you can do whatever you want inside the hard drive icon. Dont forget that most applications also use your home folder under "Hard drive" -> "Users" -> "your name here" to store files, songe and movies.
If that does not work, just press the little magnifying glass on the top right hand corner and type in whatever you are searching for. Macs searching tool (called spotlight) is many magnitudes better then the windows equivalent.
