Friend’s kid is a happy, bright boy attending junior high. Last weekend, he showed me some of his math home work questions while we chatted online. One of them was interesting enough that I thought it is worth to share with everyone who reads my blog.

This document is aiming to help two groups of people: 1.    Normal (by which I mean those who don’t spend 18 hours a day hacking in front of laptops in their basements) people who work with lots of documents and are seeking ways to organize their work.
