Internet
- sci.virtual-worlds and sci.virtual-worlds-apps, moderated by Bob Jacobson
        and Mark A. DeLoura, are the main online VR discussions.

- alt.cyberpunk often concerns topics related to VR, though that is not the 
        focus of the discussions themselves.

America Online:
- The VR discussion on AOL is sponsored by Virtus Corporation and can be
        found in their directory. To get to the discussion, use the keyword 
        VIRTUS,and look in the "Let's Discuss" folder.
