I can't help explain anything (*), but it has been compared to
quicksilver on the Mac, which I do use. And the problem with
explaining that is that it is (in some ways) so totally different from
traditional computer interfaces that it's almost impossible to
describe it meaningfully. You just have to see it in action. That
doesn't mean you cannot and should not try, but it explains why the
explanations this far fall short.

(Imagine explaining computers and what you can do with them to your
great-great-grandfather.)

(*) I love being able to say that.

- Harald (who is now willing to try anything for himself)
