Just a brief introduction (I just subscribed yesterday).  My name is David 
Richard and I am a second-year graduate student in architecture at the 
University of Texas (Austin).  I am pursuing a degree in Architectural 
Studies, an inter-disciplinary (non-professional) architectural degree which 
investigates how technology informs architecture and how architecture can 
inform technology.  I hope by subscribing to discover some of the 
possibilities of networking spaces together instsad of traditional text 
linkages currently found on the web (and hope to use my training in 
architecture to enrich and enliven those spaces). 
I just finished cesating (and will be maintaining) the School of 
Architecture home pages at UT (http://www.ar.utexas.edu).  I have a 
technical background (BSME, Stanford '90) but very little programming 
experience.  I am, however, eager to learn...  and eager to listen in on 
your conversations...    
BTW, does anyone know if VRML browsers are near completion for the Power Mac 
platform?
