Don't tell that to the people on the ECM mailing list! People there have been trading cyberbucks for RealMoney. The last successful trade I saw was 100 cyberbucks for 4 UK pounds...
And to add to the exchange, I'm offering a US$50 [real] discount for any client of Gateway Communications that deposits $5 [cyber] via my web page. The reduction hurts me very little, and the exchange of cyberbucks is fun. Isn't that why we do this stuff anyway? -abc It's time to stand and cry | Alan B Clegg That Freedom will not live | President Beyond our willingness to die | Gateway Communications -Lester Bork | http://www.gateway.com
