So were the last words I heard him say, then he left with me staring
after.  He left, the words still burning into the screen but I knew
that he wouldn't be back.  Not for me.  I might catch the golden gleem
of his matrix construct dancing on the edge of vision, hear about the
newest, fastest programs to come from his part of the world, but he
and I were through.

At least I was.  He would live on.

The matrix was an illusion for me now, the last ties to reality cut
with this letter.  Virtual Reality was only virtual now.  It was only
numbers and algorythms in my brain overshone with bits of gaudy
metalic color and artificial neon fed directly to the visual cortex. 
Technical parlor tricks.

I tried to let him know, to make him let go of the virtual and see the
real.  /I/ could see the real.  The /Absolute/ Reality.  Nothing this
solid or this beautiful could be suspended for a computer simulation. 
Did mankind need to play God?  Was the Control the addiction?  Do we
have such little faith in the world around us that we must create our
own and suffer to fester within our own graves?

As I stared at the screen, not even a personal goodbye, I knew the
answer.  I was a part of a dieing breed, the people who believed in
God and Heaven and the Earth.  The hedonistic Romans fell and fell
hard for taking the world for granted.

He wouldn't see this.  The addiction was too strong.

Goodbye, my love.  Some day you, too, will fall.  And we who still
live in the World will live on.

I turned off the terminal and walked away.

Here is my first literary post to this newsgroup... a poem(?) I wrote 2 
years ago that I just dug back up. If you have any comments, please 
notify me in email... flames read and appreciated, but *only* thru email.
Here it is..
========================================================================
Silent Ice by the Exile in Paradise

Cloud deck darkness across paintflake houses
Twin lines of streetlights are jewels against sky
Pale blue reflections in hard blue eyes
Muted growl thru the this hiss of wind

Around the streets a silent wall of ice
Shadows by the roadside poised, waiting
In faraway towers, tensed readiness above piles of papers
A voice carried by pulses in the thin air

Bone white walls and faery blue haze
Slow motion imagery of phosphor lines
A dragon tattoo against a dark tan field
Folded platic ends its journey in smoke

All associations cut, save one who's ice incarnate
Ready temptation traded for a concrete cell
The dancers all know, yet return for more
Hoping to stay the ice for one more run

A glacier settles across the streets in red-blue flashes
Houses now empty stand for another generation
The ice thaws leaving emptiness
A void to be filled with another dance
======================================================================
Well... there it is. I hope you enjoy! L8r

 I believe that ruling was for Nintendo. When the Nintendo first hit the
market, they would not sell/release the cartridge data. The wanted to
preview any game that was produced and only allow those they liked. It would
think this was to prevent and half-hearted attempts at games to tarnish
the systems reputation.

 Who else thinks that the "4 games" relaesed for the "Virtua Sega" will be 
simlar to the ones now available on the Virtaulity System.

Yeah, the Super Nintendo has a 65816 chip in it running at ~  7.5 Mhz
without any of that ram shadowing crap.

As far as the Sega Genesis goes, it has a 68000 chip in it as well as
a Z80 for sound.  Most development is done on a cross compiler on a
PC, but the final exe's are downloaded to an Iin circuit emulator that
takes the place of the 68000 in the SEGA.

    there's a very simple reason they don't just *give* away the software
specs... they don't make any money then... if they just sold the game machine,
and gave away the spec, they'd only make money on the machine... if they just
sold the game machine and their own cartridges, they'd only make money on the
machine and their cartridges... however, if they sell the machines, their 
cartridges, and a 'licensing agreement/technical documentation' or somesuch, 
they make money on the machines, their games, and *any* other software that
carries the 'Nintendo/Sega/Whatever Seal of Approval' ... ie: the license to
use the information they provide ...

Well first it would be EEG, not EKG. Then the leg-pulling is all
relative as something like that was showed at Siggraph'92, and then
again was mentioned by a different company at Meckler VR'92.

I don't remember the name of the thing, but I believe it was being
presented by a group (at Siggraph) called:

Psychic Lab Inc.
280 Park Ave. South
Suite 7G
New York, NY 10010
USA
Phone USA(212)353-1669
Applelink PSYCHIC.MKTG

If that's the right address and all, they are selling full setups for
MACII.

They were showing different type of MAC displays that you could
"influence" (rather than "control") via a headband with electrodes.
Some people were doing pretty good in 10 minutes, while some others
would need a bit more training (I'm in the second group :-). But it
worked.

Hi netters,

I am not sure if this is a right group to ask.  If not, sorry about this.

My lab needs a small LCD (diagonal 3" -- 5", like a Sony Watchman TV) as a mask
for some optic experiments.  The pattern on it should be controlled by a 
personal computer like a Mac or a PC.

My first thought is:
1) a commercial product for this purpose -- anybody has the company's info?

2) re-configer a cheap consumer electronic black-&-white Watchman TV or 
   something like that and connect it to the personal computer.  Is there a way
   to have it emulate a computer display?
3) any other idea?

Thank you for your time.
