Home is singularis, so it fits with BeOS.
Plus, a home.. a desktop.. and a folder (from a filing cabinet)
A home folder. It's a strange complex of metaphors.
Probably not something we can can or should change right now, but still
worth thinking about once in a while.
Anyway, discussing to 'home' or not to 'home' was not central at all to
what I wrote in my previous email. (granted much of it was irrelevant
but it still had some meat)
