Great News!

We recently purchased a FORTE VFX1 Head Mounted Display.  
Incredulous as it may sound, the unit is not compatible 
with our current OS -  NT 4.0.  Go figure.   It is brand 
new, however, and I want to sell it to YOU cheap!  It looks 
really cool, and it's comfortable as well (more than I can 
say for the CyberMaxx I own; which incidentally, I had 
planned to sell to you had the VFX1 worked.)  The VFX1 
works with either Win 3.x or Win95 systems.

So gamers, researchers, designers, curious house wives - if 
your ready for the ultimate ergonomic head mounted display, 
then GIVE ME A BUZZ.  

Cash or trade for 3D Studio MAX :)
or other interesting negotiables. 

Sincerely,
		-William Heckel

I am currently trying to find an HMD that runs in the $1000-$3000 range.
Essentially, I need recommendations for an HMD that sits between the 
Virtual IO glasses and the VR4 (virtual research HMD) in terms
of quality and price.  Any comments or suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,

Jarrell
