I can't remember where but someone used to have a small real garden ( a couple of metres square ) with a robot arm in the middle. You could make the arm do the weeding and watering etc. over the internet. More usefully, I'd look at something indoors - a terrarium/bottle garden or a few window boxes maybe ... -- Martin & Anna Sykes ( Remove x's when replying ) http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sykesm |

Well, The Sims has some gardening in it. Plant flowers, and don't hire a gardener, or water them yourself, and they die. The Unleashed expansion pack added vegetables gardens that you need to weed and water, and then you can harvest them, and save money on your grocery bills. Compared to how someone who "gardens" views a garden, it's pretty unrealistic, but it comes close to simulating how non-gardeners view their landscape, and now vegetable gardens. Hmmm.... I wonder if a Sim game focusing on gardening would be commercially viable. Gardening isn't exactly rock 'em, sock 'em action, but those goofy virtual pets had their day in the sun a couple of years ago. -- Warren H. ========== Disclaimer: My views reflect those of myself, and not my employer, my friends, nor (as she often tells me) my wife.
