Well, since I'm the one you quoted, I'll respond.  I, too, appreciate
hearing about new 3D technologies and opportunities.  However, in the
last couple of weeks, there's been a deluge of mail about the Virtual
Boy, it's availability, it's price, it's games, etc.  I believe much
of what's been posted goes beyond the boundaries of general interest
in 3D, and into the territory of "video game enthusiast" interest.

I'm not attempting to denigrate the Virtual Boy or its users.  I'm
simply voicing an opinion that I think this is probably not of
interest to most readers of this list.  If I'm wrong, so be it.
