Instead of by and by getting a sense where you are, you are forever hanging from some branch, somewhere, without getting a sense how it all fits together. Now, in all fairness, if you navigate the tree long enough, you should get the spacial awareness there just as well as in a file. Because awareness of space should be a function of time and movement, right? It is just a matter or MORE time compared with a simpler structure. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
