Yeah I have one. You're referring to the Sun Java Desktop CD right? I'll be 
happy to exchange a copy for a blank at the next meeting (at Tridge's house I 
belive). 

Unfortunately, it doesn't include the really cool 3d desktop that Glynn Foster 
demoed at the Gnome mini conf (can't remember what it's called at the moment). 
It was a pretty spectaular sight seeing windows flipped and rotated in
3-space.

It's proprietry to Sun to which is a shame. Fortunately though, Keith 
Packard's talk (which followed Glynn's) showed some intersting X extensions
that may be a way to add cool 3d eye candy to X.

Cheers,
Paul.
