Erg.  I have to say that I hate this kind of navigation.  It doesn't make
immediate, obvious sense to users (me, included): the mouse moves in one
direction and the navigation moves in the exact opposite?  It is contrary
to how navigation should work.

And, yes, it makes me mad how Apple does it in the OS X dock (fortunately,
I have turned the enlarging of icons off).  I hated how I would aim for
Eudora and accidentally open the IRC client.  You make more mistakes when
you are aiming at a moving target.
