And what 'organized' filesystem will let me see related IMs, documents,
web content, e-mail, and contact information in one view derived from a
single action?  None.  A filesystem just can't do that.  A filesystem
doesn't include my e-mail attachments, it doesn't include my calendar,
it doesn't include my contacts.  And a filesystem can't tell me all of
the Open Office Writer documents that mention "WMOGAG" for example.
When I search my filesystem it can't bring to my attention that the
thing I'm searching for was mentioned yesterday on an RSS feed.
