1)      It's here, in my heart, that I find you.

by Francesca Antonaci <antonaci@coewl.cen.uiuc.edu>

Laying alone one night in my bed.. I turn myself to look at the place
where you once slept...
I reach out to hold you close.. but I don't find you there anymore...

WAlking through the streets you once walked through.. I reach out to
squeeze your hand.. but you're not there...

Reading the same books I once read when you were here... I look up to
catch your gaze... but you're not there...

Sitting at a table in a restaurant where i once ate with you.. I search
for converstaion... but you're not there...

Laying myself down to sleep again, holding the pillow you once used..
I pray to God that if I close my eyes tight, that i can hold all your
memories forever,... close in my heart...

It's here, in my heart, that I find you.

2)      Blue Dog can Byte
                by Leandro (leandro@ifront.com)

When virtual turns into lame.

        The dog that we had just painted blue, sat there looking at us.
It had the look that a dog usually has:  big eyes that just sit there
and stare at you, the tongue hanging out, waiting that we grabbed the
tiny little red ball from the floor and tossed it around so he could
play.  When we adopted Steve (that's the name of the dog) we were very
surprised at the fact that it never did what dogs do every oh-so-many
hours.  It slept, it ate, it drank water, it barked, scratched, howled
at the moon, growled, played but never relieved itself.  We noticed that
the dog never actually eats.  No matter how much it sits there and
munches on whatever it's food is, the dish is always full.  Is this dog
for real?!  Actually, no, it's a virtual dog, that lives, thrives and
survives on your monitor.  And guess what, the darned thing never dies.
Practically, for 20$ (US funds) by calling a toll-free line, you are
given the access code to activate the program which will allow you to
"own" a dog that you selected and do various things with it (for all the
alt.sex.pets fans, sorry, you'll be disappointed).  We got a chuckle out
of this, I mean, there really is EVERYTHING out there for types of
software, but I never imagined such a thing.  DOGZ (the name of the software)
is made by PFMagic, and they even have their own web site.  We promptly
visited, and were greeted by several options, the most scary ones were
the ones to trade your 'dogz' story and read the one of others.  For
those that like the mugz shots, there even is a whole section were you
can send your dog's picture in, so other users can enviously look at what
the little fucker can do.  Every single one of this people (and I'm
talking hundreds of people here) have paid $20 dollars to own and teach
a virtual dog some virtual tricks.  Why?  Why bother?  why not give the
money to your local humane society were animals, real animals, could use
some help?  Once again we've proven at what point this society has
arrived.  Is this the future for pets?  I can already see next, virtual
girlfriend/boyfriend.  I'm not too sure how this program will work, but
it's going to be tough programming.
