I have it installed, and will be trying it out as much as I can.  Ironically, I don’t normally have very much on my computer desktop, because of the problem BumpTop attempts to solve, but I’ll try to get out of the habit of keeping the desktop clean so that I can think of things in a new BumpTop way.

…my actual physical desktop is usually pretty cluttered, though.
I wish there was something that would let me keep papers, magazines, and bills as organized as in BumpTop.

Things don’t work in the beta exactly like the video below, but the concepts are the same.  In addition to what you see in the video, there are “photo frames” on the walls that can be slideshows of photos on my computer, or elsewhere on the web.

Trouble is, when it comes to something as intangible yet useful as Wi-Fi, “complimentary” takes on a new meaning. …and if you don’t have a laptop/portable that does wireless, well….
