- Why Bother with getting a SG VR setup?!! It will just be obsolete (in VR terms)
- ) in 1-2 years..... Just get a mahcine that does the job and save $10K...
-
- You'll havew to excuse me... I'm new here and still adjusting to the increasing tide of SIG's here...
- tide of SIGS here.
-
- I find your Cyberpunk socially curious, but technically empty.
-
- You like (generilization, not you Zeke) to throw buzz words/phrases around like
- rice at a wedding.
-
- I am an Electrical Engineer (have a degree) and have read your fav mag Mondo
- 2000 and am curious as to why you are how you are.
-
- I can understand the natural attraction to the rush that the power of new tech-
- nologies can bring, but what substance does your self proclaimed "Movement"
- stand on? I enjoy electronics and computers, but do not find I have to color
- box phreak for kicks, or do CC #'rs, or glue TTL chips to my clothes, do
- brain drugs and come home each day to my biofeedback VSex computer interface.
-
- I have known many true hackers, for many years now. They do not usually wear
- disks around their necks and have strange haircuts, but usually are lacking in the
- the area of personal hygene, have gobs of hair all over thier bodies (some lack-
- ing in some places) and are social hermits (this discription , to a small ex-
- tent, discribes myself).
-
- Gimme a reply... I have looked into the pages of Mondo several times now and
- found myself laughing, gazeing and getting pissed at some of the ways that
- the cyberpunk mentality portrays technology and other things that seem new
- and mystifyingly powerful to them.
