I've not seen it firsthand, but have read several articles about it as well
as an interview with Mike Saenz, the wild man who created Virtual Valerie 
(sort of a follow-up to the classic "MacPlaymate").  It's supposed to be lots
of fun the first time, kind of run-of-the-mill after that, maybe even boring
after a while...  Saenz said he put lots of cute things to discover in the
building she "lives" in, though, which should keep things fresh.

He also said (I'll try to find the *#&!@! magazine) that the "sequel" was
probably going to be called something like "Donna Matrix," and joked about
creating a spinoff company from Reactor that would specialize in such types
of software -- he'd call it "Erector!"
