Ok. I admit it. I must be out of it, 'cause everybody 'cept me seems to  
know what BackSpace is. I searched the 3.0 documentation. Nothing. I've  
looked in the archives. Everybody refers to it with no explanation. WHAT  
IS IT?

It comes with release 3.0.  Check into:
      /NextDeveloper/Examples/AppKit/BackSpace
and   /NextDeveloper/Examples/AppKit/BackSpaceViews

You'd have to compile it, but once you do you have a pretty nice screensaver  
program.  It's particularly nice that the source code is included, as it  
gives the budding programmer an example of how to do a lot of "neat things".
