Bailo UI Supercedes All

[jbailo]

The Bailo User Interface (BUI) rules all:

I just deleted all my icons and put a
'Command Line' on my toolbar. Just that
and a MozillaFirebird launcher.

Now if I want to run xmms i type 'xmms'
If i want to read news i type 'pan'
if i want to watch my extensive collection of porn thumbnails i type
'xmms'

The BAILO UI SUPERCEDES ALL !!!

Had that for years under Windows 98 - a little Delphi app called
Run which I wrote myself. It was really trivial to implement.

I can type "def word" to bring up the dictionary definition of a
word, or "phone person" to show a person's phone number, or
"go <google search string>" to start a browser and display the
results of a Google search, or "att" to open Explorer in my email
attachments directory, or "cmds" to open an edit window on the
list of commands my app recognizes. Adding or changing commands
is simply a matter of editing a text file.

Its window is normally hidden, but appears when I press Windows-
Spacebar displaying the last command executed. It disappears again
when Enter is pressed, unless the command wasn't recognized (in
which case Escape makes it go away.

It is so nice to have an empty desktop instead of the usual mass
of icons, and not to have to futz around with the Start Menu for
99% of cases. It's also FAST!

Sounds good, do you have a link? Will it work with Windows 95? I don't
have Delphi so a binary would be perfectly acceptable.

With windowsXP, you can add a browser location input on the task bar so that you
can run http: requests ( and I think, you can run commands via it
as well.
