I read all the posts and made a reply myself. It did not really relate to my
condition. I actually had an octacube ??. It had eight sides on the selfsame
screen. You could rotate and move it my dragging and holding down the left
mouse button. If you rotated it toward yourself, you could see the pages
inside, and by clicking on the page you wanted it would rotate to that page.
Now, I am trusting a not totally reliable memory, but that is what I remember.
Dotan, that is the feature I liked. I would have my email package on one
page, various applications on other sides, sometimes several different web
pages, all relating to the same work effort. You know me; I barely have any
memory at all, so this way, I did not have to rely on my memory or taking
notes on an office doc to keep up to speed with the work, I simply looked inside
the octacube, selected the appropriate page and instantly moved to the needed
reference. It made my life a lot easier and more efficient. The only problem
was memory use, but I know with 8gb of memory in my new computer, it will be
able to handle it.
