　　In return you get software you may find valuable.

　　HoudahSpot also appeared to be a very good idea to start a company from.

　　HoudahSpot是一个很适合新公司的产品。

　　With hard drives getting larger and larger, I can imagine no one who is still able to manage the masses of file using traditional folder⁷ hierarchies⁸.

　　随着硬盘空间越来越大，可以想见没人能继续用传统的文件夹方式来管理大量的文件。

　　You inevitably⁹ end up with folders¹⁰ holding way too many files.
