the user would have every device:
a) "iconized" on the desktop (maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't Mac OsX 
does it too?)
b) "itemized" in a menu
ready to be used

all devices would be assigned an icon on login, in fact :)

well, it seems that some people are interested in this issue, so 
maybe I will prepare some .pdf graphical slide to explain the 
whole idea in three moves... :)
