The virtual map has possibilities -- but apparently nobody's gotten
around to implementing Asimov's "guide rod" yet. :-) The
tendency to change zoom while panning will probably get annoying
after awhile. :-)
I don't see an office, but I see a "home of the future",
(it's a gated two-story) which among other things has an
attractive young lady staring in a mirror with a printout
of Reuters while she's doing her face, and a kid with a
Blackberry-like device.
