(after a respite) Does this fit as a description of LiteStep?

First, I apologize for the gap. I've had some interesting times with a 
particular group of ophthalmologists.

This is important work, and worth my time and effort, at least. I hope I 
don't overstay my welcome.

In text, would it be accurate to say (NOT ad copy, but rather some 
general statements pointing out why LiteStep makes sense for most 
computer users, so please read this as "general idea" rather than 
specific copy:

-----------------------------

As computing itself becomes more complex, as computer users take control 
of even more of their overall computing environment;
as computers themselves simultaneously grab more of our "eyeball-hours" 
and reach out to control more aspects of our increasingly complex 
environment;
as human-computer interactions take up more of our work and play time 
and the number of people whose jobs and primary recreation do not 
involve computers continue to shrink;

we should not be surprised as the desire--the need--to personalize our 
own "digital space" continues to grow along with an increasing need to 
reestablish some sense of control over our own computer interfaces.

LiteStep goes quite a ways toward meeting my need to "re-personalize" my 
digital space.

By allowing me to go far beyond changing background images or the color 
and shape of the icons on my desktop, by allowing me to reach into my 
desktop itself, LiteStep enables me to reinsert "a bit of me" back into 
my computer world.

By opening up my own computing shell I can change the "glue" that holds 
my various complex software tools together. LiteStep doesn't require 
that I give up my applications, or even to install new versions or 
variants. Yet the ways in which those programs work together, and the 
manner in which I flow from application to application has changed, and 
it makes all the difference in the world.

Most of us realize the importance of controlling our work space--and if 
the pace of work allows, each of us can see, or feel, our own internal 
ideal workspace. Few of us have the skill to rewrite the code that 
controls the appearance of our computer desktops. Even fewer have the 
legal license to do so. Those of us with the programming skill and the 
license are way too busy to take the time to get our desktop just right.

Many computer users are drawn to the simple and elegant design of the 
Mac's look and feel. Many are drawn to the flexibility (and 
transparency) of the Vista's Aero desktop.

Yet if you want to truly control your workspace, your computer 
environment you must go beyond the desktops of Steve Jobs and Bill 
Gates: They each have designed (or rather, have hired teams of 
professional graphic artists to design) a desktop that fits their 
vision, their needs. That's fine for a starting place, but I'm not Jobs 
or Gates: My desktop needs to fit me, to enhance the way I work, to flow 
with me from one of my tasks to another and then to another, then back 
again.

If I'm going to fine tune my computer workspace to work for me rather 
than against me, I am going to have to go way beyond the "desktop that 
sort of works" for millions of people to develop the desktop that works 
for me. Today.

LiteStep is the tool that makes this possible.

A bit intimidated by the idea of writing code for your own desktop? You 
should be! Today's graphical interface is intentionally complicated. It 
has to be in order to work passably for those millions of computer users.

You don't need to do a single bit of programming to get started towards 
reclaiming your own computing environment; many "desktop themes" already 
exist. Part of the beauty of LiteStep is that you can plug the name and 
location of your favorite programs into a form, add a few personal 
preferences and you have a workable desktop that belongs to you.

As you continue working in and with your very own computer desktop you 
can continue to refine your style, making changes ranging in complexity 
from filling out an on-screen form to changing the way your software 
icons interact with each other; LiteStep once again puts you at the 
center of your computing experience. Litestep is as simple or as complex 
as you want it to be.

And because we are people and not computers, we don't always work the 
same way. Different sorts of work (or play!) require different desktops. 
   In less time than it takes for you to change from your "lounge around 
the house" clothes to your "I'm a computing professional" attire you can 
switch LiteStep environments.

You can personalize, and save, as many different desktops as you desire. 
then change from one to another with a simple keystroke. Return to your 
creations time and time again with just a couple of keystrokes. Reclaim 
your workspace.

Am I on-target here? Does this reflect the bulk of your answers to my 
earlier queries?

And on a straightforward gut feeling, how does it sit?
