A method of presenting visual information relating to one or more available events to a user, the method comprising:
- 1. providing a display or monitor having a display/monitor surface,
- 2. providing, for each of a first group of available events, an image relating thereto,
- 3. displaying the images of one or more events of the first group on the display/monitor, each image moving along a predetermined path having a first general direction over the display/monitor surface,
- 4. providing information relating to a second group of events, the information comprising an image relating to each event of the second group, and
- 5. displaying the images of one or more events of the second group on the display/monitor, each image moving along a predetermined path having a second general direction over the display/monitor surface, the second general direction being different from the first general direction.

A method of presenting visual information relating to one or more available events to a user, the method comprising:
- 1. providing a display or monitor having a display/monitor surface,
- 2. providing, for each of a first group of available events, an image relating thereto,
- 3. determining, for at each event of the first group, an initial size of the corresponding image,
- 4. displaying the images of one or more events of the first group on the display/monitor, each image moving along a predetermined path over the display/monitor surface,
- wherein step 4 comprises initially displaying the one or more images with the initial sizes, the sizes of the images being reduced over time.

A method of presenting visual information relating to one or more available events to a user, the method comprising:
- 1. providing a display or monitor having a display/monitor surface,
- 2. providing, for each of a first group of available events, an image relating thereto,
- 3. determining, at a point in time, information relating to a first number of events provided to the user at previous points in time and determining, for one or more of the previously provided events, a parameter relating to a number of times the event or similar events have been provided,
- 4. selecting a second number of events from the first number of events, the selection being based on the parameters determined,
- 5. displaying the images of the second number of events on the display/monitor, each image moving along a predetermined path over the display/monitor surface.

A system for presenting visual information relating to one or more available events to a user, the system comprising:
- a display or monitor having a display/monitor surface,
- first receiving means for receiving, holding or accessing, for each of a first group of the available events, an image relating thereto,
- means for controlling the monitor/display to display the images of the first group on the display/monitor, each image moving along a predetermined path having a first general direction over the display/monitor surface, and
- second receiving means for receiving, holding or accessing, for a second group of the available events, an image relating thereto,
- the controlling means being adapted to control the monitor/display to display the images of the second group on the display/monitor, each image of the second group moving along a predetermined path having a second general direction over the display/monitor surface, the second general direction being different from the first general direction.

A system for presenting visual information relating to one or more available events to a user, the system comprising:
- a display or monitor having a display/monitor surface,
- first means for receiving, holding or accessing, for each of a first group of the available events, an image relating thereto and means for determining, for at each event of the first group, an initial size of the corresponding image,
- means for controlling the monitor/display to display the images of the first group on the display/monitor so that each image moves along a predetermined path, each image initially has its initial size and the size of each image is reduced in time.
A system for presenting visual information relating to one or more available events to a user, the system comprising:
- a display or monitor having a display/monitor surface,
- first receiving means for receiving, holding or accessing, for each of a first group of the available events, an image relating thereto,
- means for providing events to a user and for determining, at a point in time, information relating to a first number of events provided to the user at previous points in time and determining, for one or more of the previously provided events, a parameter relating to a number of times the event or similar events have been provided,
- means for selecting a second number of events from the first number of events, the selection being based on the parameters determined, and
- means for controlling the monitor/display to display the images of the second number of events on the display/monitor, each image moving along a predetermined path over the display/monitor surface.
