I responded once to this,but I forgot something.  The octacube, as I probably 
mis-name, is one of the great advantages that I see the utility in.  Just by 
dragging the mouse you can view all the pages of an 8 time multitask.  If you 
multitask a lot, that is worth the whole program to me.  I would really like 
to use the terminal to do the work, but that feature is rapid movement from 
task to task with a simple drag and click.  With my old man memory that is 
the difference between continuing a project or struggling to find where you 
were last.
