 -> Very nice ... but how do you envisage returning from, say, the

Of course - I had confused the `reality' of what you'd experience 
with the `fantasy' created by the producers of the experience...

But that would mean you'd be a `ghost' at the party surrounding 
you, unable to actually interact with events or actors - or to 
change the course of the plot...

Have a Happy Easter !

:-)
