Mike, I too am very interested in V.R. I hear that there may be a conference in Boston in October. Will search more to find out the date and info. Keep in touch and maybe we will talk more on the issue.

Derek-Paul, Thats good news. I would very much appreciate whatever information you can pass along. As I am right now in a Power-reading phase on the subject I may be able to discuss it a little more intellegently in the future. I am presently reading a book by Howerd Rheingold, "Virtual Reality" and find it enlightening. I have ordered other books and two vidios that summarize recent conventions and progerss in the field to date. Stay in touch.

We are researching VR as well. You may wish to read today's Washingtn Post story through Executive News Service. It mentions CyberEdge, A VR industry news letter. Would you please save our UID number (as I rarely use this forum) and let us know of additional resources? Thanks. BTW, what is publisher on Rheingold book?

Gina, Thanks for the information. The publisher is Summit Books, Cright 1991 It is enlightening and so far, somewhat historical. For a neophyte like myself, however, thats OK. I need to know everything that has led up to what is going on today if I intend to speak intellegently in the future. Lets stay in touch. BTW, I live up by Saratoga, NY. How about yourself? Be talking to you. Mike
