I posted a while ago, quite a while ago about VResources on-line VR
web pages.  I have been quite behind due to the overwhelming success
of my companies web business and I've had much less time to devote to
VResources than I had anticipated.  I have since teamed up with Marc
Bernatchez, whom many of you that read this may recognize his name
attached to posted about HMDs.  Anyway we have both dedicated
ourselves to providing this resource as our initial contribution to
the VR industry.  

VResources is located on our new server at Imaginative Entertainment's
Home page:

	http://www.imaginative.com  

It was located and I believe the page is still at
www.xmission.com/~gastown/imaginative/VResources.html (but that's not
being updated).  If anyone has links to it there I would appreciate a
link change.

I would also like any comments, suggestions or additions to the page.
If your working in VR or know of any products or services that you
don't find on VResources let me know.  I do promise to read and
eventually reply to you in a reasonable amount of time.  At this
current point in time I am focusing on building up the Company
profiles I have created a database of over 195 companies and I still
keep finding more.  I will use this database to create the web page
with a program I am writing so I think you'll see updates a bit more
frequently and I can quickly add your company if I am missng it.  I
should have a nice list of companies out later this week, many missing
Address, contact and other info.  I am requesting from all the
companies a short E-mail about the company and a brief description of
the products and/or services.  I will create a link to any E-mail or
web pages a company has, but I still would like a quick blurb to link
from the listing.

Now if you've continued reading up until this point I must not have
bored you too much so I will continue to babble a bit more.  I would
like to say how fantastic the VR industry is, I have yet to deal with
anyone yet that hasn't been 100% helpful and friendly.  In a market
place that is leaning over the cutting edge and many companies
struggling to make it to the coming era when VR is mainstream, no one
I have talked to or met has given me an attitude.  

I am now going to bore most of you.  I would like take a moment an
thank everyone.  Paul Kelman of AVR Corporation (who answers my
E-mails in the middle of the night, so I know he's up working hard).
Todd Porter of 2Morrow Inc. for developing a tool even I could afford
on my past budget (He's on our web pages by the way).   Ken Gaebler of
VREAM for setting me up in the Alpha program, Ken we'll soon be
showing off VRCreator on our VRML projects.  Marc Bernatchez of course
for becoming my new partner in crime on VResources.  Stuart Alexander
from Sense8 who's got me really excited about World Up (It's to VR
what Visual Basic is to C, well sorta). Bernie Roehl for writing the
book "Virtual Reality Creations" which got me totally hooked on VR and
also putting up with my on-line interviews (which I have yet to finish
and I keep re-starting them).  I'm probably missing a number of people
don't feel bad my memory is shot and I'm really tired.

Now I know your bored so here's my info:
