Re: Aurora Feature Idea

This is a way cool idea. For others who haven't seen this kind of
interface, checkout the FileManager program that comes with Symantec's
NT-Tools and their "Norton Utilities for Windows95", versions before 3.0
(they dropped it in latest version -- booo!). I've always hated the
Microsoft "Explorer" (even befor IE was invented) because of the way it
lumps drives and folders together. I highly recommend it to people with
very large numbers of files and drives, like us developers.
