using activities woodsmokes experience

I can get up at two o'clock in the morning, walk into my study, click the mouse, and there is the writing activity, and with one mouse click I am off and writing instead of wading through the menus.

Glad to see you've seen the proverbial light, woodsmoker!

I've only just started using 12.04 (up from 8.04.3), have not yet implemented any activities, but this was the only convincing I needed as to the usefulness of activities:

Makes good sense. And they are easy to set up and use.

Hi guys

dequire.

Yep, The first experience a couple of years ago was just horrid, "the whole lost the desktop" thing, etc. It took a lot of playing with activities to convince myself that they would work better than the compiz-cube, but I got there about last December.

Thanks for the linky, I had not seen it. So I guess I can quit fiddling with a "better explanation" since he has done a good job.
