• maintaining at said one or more databases a user record for each of a plurality of users, said user record containing an association of said user with one of said first or second hierarchies;
• providing access for a given user to the icons in said first or in said second hierarchy as a function of said association in said given user's user record;
• each of said icons, when selected by said given user, causing one of a plurality of icon-dependent actions to occur on a remote device associated with said given user and
• at least a first one of said icons (“menu icon”), when selected by said given user, revealing one or more other icons at a lower branch of the hierarchy identified in said given user's user record;
• is at least a second one of said icons (“content icon”), when selected by a user, displaying a document or running an audio file or a video file;
