No no - this is not IE specific - I've looked at this in NN 4/PC and am
looking at it now in NN4.x/Mac and it runs fine (well - you probably
want a fast Mac or PC). The PlumbDesign Visual Thesaurus is always how I
thought the web would end up. It's the kind of thing Wm Gibson's work
brings to mind in terms of interfaces - Matrix, Cyberspace, etc.

Oh well.

And by the way - this is not really "hot throbbing nature" - but it is
very organic.
