I am not really thrilled by having a virtual computer in a VR environment.
Having a VR representation of a "folder", i.e. a kio slave view, however....
Especially if I could also have "tools / actions" associated to a "file"
visualized in 3D.
One more reason to "ioslavify" everything, I believe - mailboxes, address
books, computer settings, connectivity (i.e. things like the DIalupu
network in Windows)...

Dirk
