yes, try it. it's more than the cube - which is uber cool - and the transparency - which is neat. it's how the windows are more fluid, more responsive as you move them. it's incredible. move 'em, shake 'em ... they're like real, soft objects. the menus also kind of "boinnnnngg" out when they appear. just get the iso & try it. so cool. scott -- R.
