- I agree. Entertainment may be the first major success for VR tech.
- As total-immersion systems come on the market in the same price range
- as todays nintendo/sega machines, we're going to see a boom.

- the uproar when parents see their sons and daughters sitting on the floor
- with 'face suckers' on!
