Why Deckhand?

On a ship, the deckhand is the crew member who does the actual handling: moving cargo, stowing gear and keeping the deck in order so the vessel runs. Your PC is the ship, your files are the cargo, and Deckhand is the crew member that sorts, moves, names and tidies it, the same way every time, while you steer.
