CHANNEL TALK - A woman of virtue

Help is at hand for the sad, single IT exec. From Hong Kong comes My Lover, a Tamagotchi virtual girl/boyfriend which requires chocolates, flowers and trips to the cinema. Points are gained for romantic dinners and constant attention. Lavish enough lurve and you can soon score enough 'affinity points' for a virtual snog or even marriage. But, fail to live up to its desires, and you end up with a virtual ex. Still, at least you don't have to split up the CD collection.
