Obewon, There is one of your comments I'd like to push a bit further: Example 2 You are the IT manager at a major Fortune 500 company and have personally used the VRD and you love it at home. You have argued for seven months to replace the bulky CRT and flat panel LCD's and have finally received permission to move to VRD display headsets provided you can come up with a security plan for maintaining physical control of the headsets (CFO is worried that employees or building maintenance people will walk away with the VRD systems). What do you do? Scenario: We're some years ahead in time. VRD is available as a general means of displaying information. Call it the Microsoft Office equivalent on the hardware. You and I carry cell phones. Everybody does. Our phones are equipped with the VRD display. We also carry a pair of neat glasses. My employer doesn't have to worry about fitting me out with other screens, displays, 'cause I've only got to reach for my glasses (or fix a unit to my own?), and by 1) plugging in a standard cord or 2) by infrared signals, I'm online (display wise) with any computer. At the airport: same thing. I can choose to look at the panels, or simply plug my VRD in to the socket in the wall. --on second thoughts, at the airport, the flight information is given to me via my cell phone VRD display. Wow! I'm looking forward to the future. Won't it be nice to live in a world where VRD has become standard. And at that time know that we spotted this and became owners back in the nineties... Kim

>>>As I haven't followed your entire argument up to this point My argument is, "VRD is thought to be a Very Real Deal, but WHERE'S THE MONEY?" >>>VRD replacing all current CRT and Flat-Panel LCDs. Don't you want to see it happening? You seem to be here to prevent it? >>>If it is not ready by the time the helos are upgraded I don't know whether it will be ready or not. Only the company (or God) knows and they are not gonna tell me. Dang. >>>Before I attempt to bring you back to the realities of customer demand, I think your two examples are not very realistic, far from fancy imagination, either. Rather absurd. VRD is very popular and the airport and some company don't want to upgrade? Who cares? It's already popular and probably we are rich. Argument is futile. Just show me the money!
