That New, Old Interface Every once in a while, designers turn back the clock and give something another try. Exhibit A: the Fold n' Drop interface for sorting through computer files.

And do I get any additional rights in England as a sovereign of another country, should I decide to sometimes leave mine to get some groceries or something?
