BumpTop is a fresh and engaging new way to interact with your computer desktop. You can pile and toss documents like on a real desk. Break free from the rigid and mechanical style of standard point-and-click desktops. Interact by pushing, pulling and piling documents with elegant, self revealing gestures. BumpTop’s stunning interface makes clever use of 3D presentation and smooth physics-based animations for an engaging, vivid user experience.

I remember seeing this on TED. It looks pretty cool, but I got to admit I like how the computer keeps things way more organzied then I do in real life, even if it is not as visceral. It is more of a lesson in how we order things, and how we read many layers of information but may not realize it.
You are right, I’d probably try it, loose a lot of time but have some fun and end up with the conclusion that I like the way the computer handles information the old way, kind regards Dr Shock
