a wheel with a hub and spokes to represent Centryx and the other optional
products. Centryx would be the hub and the spokes are the other products.
They even suggested making the wheel spin. <end quote>

My first thought with this one was "if the wheel spins, how are they going
to read the links?"  But then I remembered something.  Have a look at
http://www.gabocorp.com and in particular the one called "revolver".  

The problem with this is, of course, it requires the macromedia products,
as well as the time needed to learn these rather expensive (*drools*) items
and also requires the person looking at them to have shockwave loaded.

Other then that the problem I see with the wheel idea is that it is round -
thus taking up a fair amount of space that may otherwise be put to better
use.  It COULD be done well, but it could be rather horrible too.

Maybe if you come up with an alternative as well?
