:-) I think you are going to love some of the domestic scenes me and
my friends have written for the planet Atlantis in our currently
evolving sf roleplaying scenario.

"Honey, can you send me the salt?"
"Here you are. 3 microcreds."
<wearables do the transaction>
"Dad! Dad! Pat is suing me and I want legal advice!"
"Sigh. Why can't you and your brother just get along, you spend half
of your allowance-pay on arbitration?"

The scenario will appear soonish; there is so much happening in it
right now that it is ridiculous and any web page would be
obsolete. Probably the first time I seen a space war has fought by
psychologists, lawyers, programmers and media people...
