I saw it on a friend's computer. I barely touched it. I know it's
superficial, but I liked the way the icons bounced their way into
the panel (taskbar? thing like CDE had?).

:) 

I'm afraid that's the only thing I remember about it!

Some time ago, Salon ran a nice piece about it by one of the BSD
developers:

That's more "how BSD-like" it is, but it might be worth a read.
He is rather less concerned with bouncing icons than I was :)
