As for whether this would really improve my organizational skills, I don't know... but hell, at this point, I'd love to give just about anything a try!

Why is it that the Contextual Menus [CM] (Pop-up/right click Menu) have not been expanded as much as possible? Solaris 7+ started the idea of puttings a lot of crap in the CM and it was beautiful (but limited). Nowdays, I use FinderPop (www.finderpop.com | Mac OS X/0S9) and I love the idea of putting every apps/folders/drives/scrips/etc that I need. The best desktop is the one you don’t see.
