"Swing us about! Go to half impulse and charge blasters!"

"She canna take any more, Kaptin! If we go to half impulse,
she'll--"

"You have your orders, Mr. Snot. See that they are carried
out!"

WOOO! Lookit the Interplaq go! Blast those aliens to bits!
The Starfleet flagship filled up half the 'screen' of the HV,
making wild maneuvers as the starscape shifted to change
viewpoints. Here come the aliens... aaaand--- KABLAM!
Quadrophonic surround sound explosions are terrific! Alas, I've
seen this one, and there are other channels to go on to... CLIK

WHAP! POW! KASPROING! Cartoons, life sized! Cartoons
have really improved now that 3-D computer modelers are used.
The old 2-D ones just don't cut it with the HV technology, it's
like watching a painting that moves. Bah. This cartoon's not
that great, though... the dog-and-cat pair just haven't been the
same since the network booted their creator off the show. Humph.
Ungrateful censoring scum. CLIK

Oh boy! It's the popular teen drama, C'atel City, 13080.
Gripping drama with a group of kids living in the real world, in
the heart of the music scene.

something under his fingernail. "She's cool 'n all, but kinda
annoying, yaknow?"

Truly inspiring dialogue, but alas, other channels beckon.
CLI... hmmm.

Now this is interesting. Big red button marked Channel 294.
Must be a new feature installed while I was saving up for this
rig. Looks like fun. Might as well give it a shot... it's just
HoloVision. If it sucks, I change channels.

CLIK!

YAAH! Where'd my den go? Who replaced my house with a
grimy city square in the dead of midnight? Well, I still have my
chair and food.

"I suppose you're wondering where you are," said a Yttian
figure from behind me.
