If you want a low cost quality magazine try waiting for 'Virtuoso'soon to be published in countries across Europe and US, annual subscribtion rates are 25$, it is a bi-monthly mag. aimed at people just like you. Spectrum Dynamics will be US publishers of this publication, in association with VR News in the UK so it's bound to be good. | Denise Haskew Denise@presence.demon.co.uk tell 44 (0) 71 253 9699 | | Virtual Presence Ltd, 25 Corsham St, London, N1 6DR.fax 44 (0) 71 490 8968 | | ' I need a neural implant like I need a hole in the head.'
