RESEARCH : Desktop Is

desktop is your everyday visual environment
desktop is an extension of your organs
desktop is the face of your computer
desktop is your everyday torture and joy
desktop is your own little masterpiece
desktop is your castle
desktop is a seducer
desktop is a reliever
desktop is your enemy
desktop is your friend
desktop is a psychoanalyst
desktop is your little helper

desktop is the membrane that mediates transactions between client and server
desktop is a substitute for so many other things

desktop is a question
desktop is the answer

I have been toying with the concept of seein how different people look at and record the same situation... more on that to follow.
