For the long experienced

I recall seeing such a display in a Linux system a very long time ago but there
was also a windows spreadsheet application which acted in similar way. If I
remember aright it displayed multi-sheet spread-sheets in a cubic format with
each visible side and its included tabs active.

I see what you are describing.

But, what makes a 3D representation
of a 2D object remotely patentable?
Is every visual effect patentable
now? or just when they are combined
together?

FYI, it looks to me like what 3D CAD
systems were doing in the eighties
and early nineties when people were
transitioning from 2D to 3D. It is
under a different context, but the
same effect.
