I must post to thank those researchers in the field that do take time
to post.  I, for one, work in a non-VR field, and look to groups such
as these as one of my sole sources of VR info.  Literature on the
subject is either non-existant or too expensive to contemplate.  I
recently asked at a local bookstore for material on the subject, and
was directed to a specialty magazine and a few hardbacks.  The
magazine, thin as it was, had an unbelievable cover price of $10!!!
The other books were of quality as well as quantity, but $30 a shot.
A small information base, would therefore cost me (at least on a
student's budget) a small fortune.  Local librarians offer blank
stares and attempt: "You are looking for books about Rachel Realty?!"
So, for these reasons I would like to again offer my thanks to you
quality contributors.  Internet, which in my eyes is a fledgling
cyberspace, offers us a wonderful medium of interactive knowledge,
free and sharing as it should be (polite boo's to Compuserve).  I
value the ability to learn and grow with this most important field.  I
don't know about you people, but I wanna be the first person on my
block with a datajack...
