Ok people, answer this one simple question.  What exactly IS Virtual
Reality?  Is it just simulation?  If so, why not call it simulation.
Is it simulation plus?  Plus what?  What makes it better than other 
things?  What is it composed of?  I'm having a hard time nailing down
just what I mean when I talk about VR.
