Good god. Putting stuff in the desktop is a big yuck. Your desktop probably looks like your room.

The desktop is like the inbox of files, inbox-zero it and it's a tidy place to keep things in focus until they're sorted and filed away or deleted.

Right. Why have an easy to locate area to quickly access temporary files, amiright?

Not every temp file is downloaded.

Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.

The visitor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself, "it is overfull, no more will go in!".

"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "your desktop is full of documents and shortcuts. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

Zen

I alternate between a cluttered and empty desktop.

Your desktop probably looks like your room.

What is "your room"? Which room?
