             This brings into question Apple's filing system for  
photos and music.  It seems odd to me to require the user to open a  
library of thousands of photos to work with a few.   It's like every  
time you open your word processor, all the text documents on your  
system open also.  Or going into the public library and having to  
take all the books off the shelf to look at a few.

             I'd rather have a system with which one can open only a  
part of the photo or music library at a time.  This would speed  
things up and demand less system resources.
