I have heard of CAVE's being liked through the internet before. Most CAVE's have major software portability problems. Unlike desktop computers, where software is very portable, CAVE's usually have custom hardware and software to run them. This makes it very difficult to link caves through the internet. I wish CAVE's where less expensive so individuals could afford them. ;)
