Graphical Representation of hard drive

[Martin]

Hi,

I recall downloading a programme some years ago which generated a 3D
representation of one's hard drive. You could "fly" around and look at 3d
blocks each of which represented a folder. It was actually really quite
interesting, but a bit ahead of it's time as the 3D caused it to be too slow
to be useful.

Presumably it would be a breeze for today's hardware, but I've not seen such
a thing around.

Has anyone here any idea if such a thing is available now?

Best Regards

Martin

Seems I remember that one, I think it was sequia view.

SequoiaView but the home page seems to be gone.

Google gives these results..

Thanks guys for the pointers - tried them both and they are quite neat. I'm
currently downloading 3DNA which looks more like the environment I pictured.
You can actually roam around inside a virtual world which is your PC (I
hope!)

Yes Martin. One saw a geometric plane and could fly around proportionally
sized blocks representing your system folders using the mouse. Open
up folders into their subfolders and files.......I have a copy. It was
shareware, I'll dig it up out of the vaults and try and track down whether
there is a new version...

Cheers!
