I believe it also existed in MacOS at some point, didn't? Nautilus
was originally developed by a bunch of ex-Mac developers, including
Andy Hertzfeld (sp?) who is the "mastermind" of the Mac interface
(supposedly).
My understanding was that the nautilus design came from stuff they
had worked on at Apple for the Mac.

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
