My only real complaints are systemic ones, not a product of your work :) I certainly appreciate your work, and that of the crew, and of course of the participants.

Minotaur books in Melbourne had a handful of furry comics and I got Omaha the Cat Dancer and a couple of others (not really into comics). I loved Greener Pastures though, An aussie one about a farmers stud bull who suddenly becomes half human and decides that he should go to college.http://www.tabula-rasa.info/AusComics/GreenerPastures.html Hi Lauraan, I found furry via usenet newsgroups when I first tried the internet with my Amiga A1200, I had no graphics, just text, but could download images at least. that was about 1996-ish?

It all predates the net and SL by at least one or two decades. Always wanted to do a "funny animal" comic, but have never got around to it.

After those were shown on public TV, there was an inrush of new AVs looking for cybersex!

However, it was just as big outside as it was in. I found a Tenth Doctor version in the skies near Isabel (and also included a classic control room).

It has generated a really interesting discussion. This was a pretty tough film as we were told from the outset that it was for a mainstream audience who may not of even heard of SL or virtual worlds (if there are such people). So finding a balance between dealing with the basics and trying to push into more philosophical ideas was a bit of tug of war with the producers. I agree, it was a missed opportunity for a deeper discussion on many issues. Wolfie and Marko shared so much of themselves with me and only a fraction of what you get to see in the doco. <br>Shelley<br>the director Thanks Tateru for your thoughts and observations.
