reading on some other boards, that MacOsX 10.3. will have integrated the 10 year old concept of piles, which is not only some folders on your desktop, but - well piles of files; when you move your mouse over it, a realtime preview of the file is shown.



sounds easy, and reminds me of a very old article in Wired, where some guy thought about the negs of the desktop-paradigme. this man (???) said, we all spend more time in filing than in using our datas!! so, he preferred the "mountain phrase: in front of you is a - hey, here comes the word again - pile of files, what's on top is latest, what's below is unimportant. this guy also had the idea to use a time-metaphore, your data is filed by time/date etc. ("? i wrote this memo, when we had this party in the office cause our boss had ... was it his birthday?")



give me your pennies 'bout piling data!

    I think they're great. I've been playing with them for about 3 days now and I really like the way I can organize my windows and group the similar ones together.

    Yeah, see the other thread about piles. We don't need duplicate active discussions.
