I shouldn't remember this but I do - remember in the '70's? or was it the '60's? - oh sometime a long time ago - anyway one paid someone $10, a lotta money, and popped this bit of blotting paper or pill, or some such, and then bammo the brain exploded; things were so realistic the bad guys would make you pee in your pants or you interacted with a travelogue program in your brain, so intimately that not only would you think you had actually been to Fiji, you'd think you had flown the 747 that took you there to slightly more than paraphrase Bee-dubya-ell.
Now we have to pay huge bucks and really, it's the same thing but we're expected to function in 'real time' as well. What happened? With the ten buck one I was told it was no good - drug stuff and facing reality and all that. Now I got my computer and my DVD's and my CD'S (all interactive if I want) and I'm told that this is reality.   Wha tha?????????????
