Would you consider a virtual hamster a good replacement for a live hamster?

In the words of lifelong hamster lover M. Yoshida, 'people who like hamsters will know what to expect'. In other words, Happy House doesn't do much. When you start it, your screen will darken and a basket will appear. Click on the basket latch and the cover will open, revealing your newest friend. You may name it what you wish, but please give a thought to Ruby. You feed your hamster by clicking on the food dish. That'll get its attention. Beyond that it's pretty much on its own. It will walk around, stuff its cheeks with food, unload the food, eat, sleep, groom itself and sleep. You can get its attention at any time with your pointer (but true to breed it will quickly lose interest in you). At present its physical functions are restricted to those above, but we are told that in future versions it may relieve itself. An exercise wheel has also been discussed.* When you are ready to take Happy House off your desktop and your hamster is at rest, click on the upper portion of the basket and it will close. You can also end Happy House at any time by hitting the 'Escape' key. In our hearts we know that this is what hamsters want us to do with our computers.'
