It will be interesting to see how 3DO does with the backing of major
corporations it allegedly has.  It seems to me that Avatar has some of
the same possibilities that 3DO is touting, except that Avatar is staying
within the confines of the existing saturated computer markets.  3DO, on
the other hand, is poised to define entire new markets.
