KT talks about walking around the cyberspace office, as a natural extension of the desktop metaphor. there is a network and network management system by Torus called Tapestry which comes damn close. I believe it is unix based. personally, I would prefer to be able to walk through library stacks - choose a book, and have it downloaded onto my blank WORM CD. Royalties to be charged to the account, of course. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- gorin@media-lab.media.mit.edu Just your basic east village bloom-beacon!mit-amt!gorin vegetarian thanksgiving
