or go directly to the software's homepage at http://www.nbor.com/ and
download a demo - if you're a Win2000 or XP user. (Not too
cross-platform at the moment...) It looks most interesting, (though
I'm one of the ones who can't test it), as I'm throughly sick of
windows, menus and icons, which I think have passed their use-by
date.
It'd be nice to see REBOL skins appear that don't try and ape current
GUIs but instead try to be a new and better one.
