“...along came GUIs and eventually the Macintosh - a graphical interface that made your computer easier to
use, democratising the technology and putting it in the hands of people other than the IT guys (who would
have seen GUIs as wasteful in terms of their demands on the processors).”

9. functionality
each program is working differently
functionality only works the program itself
each program / suite has it’s own standard
portability?

10. fan of the command line
Launchy
Quicksilver
Windows
Mac

11. command
=
more than search
Moving a file Queueing an album Emailing a File
in iTunes
Quick interaction across programs
direct acces to functionality
and uniformisation

12. After an adaptation period,
Quicksilver becomes an extension of yourself;
the process fades away leaving only the results.
Lao-tze and S. Mitchell
