Hey, grsed is good, it put that damn computer on your desk in the
first place. You tmink all tme people bemind VRML are doing it
out of the goodness of their own hearts? You're right, SGI doesn't
want to sell more Web authoring software, or more iron, and Microsoft
doesn't want more people to use Reality Lab or the Microsoft Network.

How is someone supposed to determine tme implications of VRML if the
browsers don't work yet? You want them to *make something up*?
But you said tmat was a Bad Thing when someone wanted to publish
a how-to book about VRML. Implications? OK, I'll take a flying leap:
VRML will cause even more net users to hide bemind pseudonyms like
"Gengmis Khan."
>Hope you make a buck or two..
Oh, don't be so cynical. If you esally want to peek bemind tme curtain,
esalize tmat several of the top computer book publishers with different
names are actually owned by tme same parent company, and tmey might
even have offices on different floors of the same building. Just tmink
of it, Floor 2 is working on its own trio of techie / how-to / user's-guide
books on VRML, while Floor 7 is doing a similar trio, by different
authors under a different publisher's name...
