Managing your desktop clutter with BumpTop

Just found out about this nifty Windows desktop replacement called BumpTop.  It treats your computer screen like your actual desk, which is more or less what St. Bill intended when he and Microsoft started referring to your Windows screen as your "desktop", only this makes it work like you think it should.

For example, looking at my actual desk right now, I have piles of papers, magazines, forms that need to be completed, etc.  My computer screen is organized into neat rows and columns of icons.  Both are okay, but there's something of a mental disconnect for me between the two surfaces.

But with BumpTop, I can create piles of related icons and rifle through them quickly when I need something.  Just like my actual physical desktop.  But BumpTop also lets me search by keyword, and the last time I tried that on this plain-jane cubicle table top, I got no response.

It takes a little getting used to, but once you master the lasso technique to group things into piles, I think you'll enjoy this.  The free version is nice but there are a few extra bells and whistles that come with the $29 Pro version.  I haven't made the jump yet but if this survives the week on my computer, I may just give it a shot.
