Sphere XP
Anyone ever use Sphere XP, or a similiar 3D desktop? How did you like it? Do you still use it? This kind of looks like Avalon, or what I've seen of it so far.

Looks interesting. I'd try it if I had an extra box to put it on.

I feel I will lose everything in it. I am bad enough looking after stuff in this 3D world, let alone getting all my programs and icons and putting them all in a massive sphere.

EDIT: Well i just tryied it out. Interesting! More of a novalty than anything else. although you can fit many windows into the sphere. "Whatsthisboxfor" don't worry, theyre is a map that will help you find all you icons and windows. it didn't seem to take up much system resource, but i only played with it for a little. Fun to put on and amuse your friends, but not very practical Last edited by Haloforce; 12-03-2004 at 02:08 PM. |

I would second Doobie's point. I did try it and the idea is cool but it just ran too slow on my system so I did away with it. It didn't really outweigh the RAM that it took up with performance.

I finally tried it out. Pretty cool, but no practical use really.
