KT talks about walking around the cyberspace office, as a natural extension 
of the desktop metaphor.

there is a network and network management system by Torus called Tapestry
which comes damn close. I believe it is unix based. 

personally, I would prefer to be able to walk through library stacks -
choose a book, and have it downloaded onto my blank WORM CD. Royalties
to be charged to the account, of course.
