Pffft. VRML is the whole game, baby! Once everyone runs out and gets an SGI oxygen, Nobody is going to use freaking web browsers ever again. I mean, HTML, what a joke.

I remember VRML being a possible PhD topic for me in 1997, I think that was about the last I heard of it!
The other option I was actually offered was in machine learning and categorisation, but I avoid it as it was obviously a dead end lol.
Also, ASPX (so ASP.Net) was a vastly superior technology to PHP. It was my first love, and I ditched it for Ruby on Rails, but ASP.Net was really good. Especially when you ran it on Linux using Mono.
