To me the interesting thing about Quicksilver is how it *combines* a keyboard-based interface with rich visuals in a really novel way. It's totally different from a traditional command line in how it provides visual feedback on matches and builds "commands" according to its own simple syntax as keys are pressed. I've talked to the local Apple Store about offering an introductory Quicksilver class there some evening -- it'd be interesting to see who came and how they reacted to its unique approach. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
