(...) No, no! I like it! I momentarily switched my monitor resolution from 800x600 to 640x480 to see if it was cluttered but it wasn't at all. Thanks for adding the traffic link too (a la Chinese checkers :), and also thanks very much for listening (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jun-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Ya, I like that. The traffic cube is pretty cool looking although it doesn't evoke anything in particular. What's it supposed to look like? Now, another nit, can I have a back navigator?
