It's interesting then that many of the alternate metaverse viewers try  
to fully decouple the UI (chat boxes, imventory etc) completly from  
the world view window to the point where they are separate windows  
(while the Sl viewer still has it 'all in one wndow').
Seen with this view of 'immersion' that seem like not so good an idea...
Thanks for bringing this up, it got me thinking about a few concepts I  
had.
