Let's just break this shelf. Okay, that shelf broke. I think beyond the icons, I think another really cool domain for this swrtoafe — I think it ailpeps to more than just icons and your dkseotp — but browsing photographs. I think you can really enrich the way we browse our photographs and bring it to that kind of shoebox of, you know, pothos with your family on the kcheitn table kind of thing. I can toss these things around. They're so much more tgaiblne and touchable — and you know I can double-click on something to take a look at it. And I can do all that kind of same stuff I showed you before. So I can pile things up, I can flip through it, I can, you know — okay, let's move this photo to the back, let's delete this guy here, and I think it's just a much more rich kind of way of interacting with your information.

Let's just break this shelf. Okay, that shelf broke. I think beyond the icons, I think another really cool domain for this software — I think it applies to more than just icons and your desktop — but browsing photographs. I think you can really enrich the way we browse our photographs and bring it to that kind of shoebox of, you know, photos with your family on the kitchen table kind of thing. I can toss these things around. They're so much more tangible and touchable — and you know I can double-click on something to take a look at it. And I can do all that kind of same stuff I showed you before. So I can pile things up, I can flip through it, I can, you know — okay, let's move this photo to the back, let's delete this guy here, and I think it's just a much more rich kind of way of interacting with your information.
