<p>As for craptops? Sims engineered with mesh (really planned and engineered like a video game) will look perfectly fine on most craptops. I am not sure if that will ever happen until a couple years out but it is going to be totally possible.</p>Metacam Oh commented on 'Why So Few People Using SL at SLCC?

but as you sneaked around to see what people write on their cellphones :P ... maybe they all were logged into SL with the phone-app !!!!</p>Sitearm commented on 'Why So Few People Using SL at SLCC?

One reason NOT to use SL, when at a live conference, is that, well, it is live and there are lots of things going on to distract and engage you.</p>
<p>2. One reason TO use SL when at a live conference is to oblige your Kind Generous Track Leader *ahem* who asks you to take comments and questions from the SL audience to feed to the RL speaker. I don't want to brag about any one track *COMMERCE&MARKETING* but we had Kind Generous Live Attendees in my room who did that for our speakers and we all appreciated that VERY much.</p>
<p>3. And if you want to reach out with YOUR commentary to your Remote Audience, like Wagner, well, like he said, it's faster and easier to post directly by social media, which usually work OK even on slow hotel public wireless.</p>

<p>I really wanted to login to SL during SLCC. Here are the main reasons that come to mind why I didn't:</p>
<p>1. Wifi, wifi, wifi, and wifi<br />
a) I didn't have the password at first (and didn't know if it was available to all attendees -- which can be very expensive)<br />
2. I didn't want to overload sims in SL and degrade their experience<br />
3. SL doesn't run that well on less-than-super-highspeed wifi<br />
4. As someone said earlier, not being able to plug into power means your battery is dead fairly quickly.</p>
<p>If we had been given any encouragement to login, I would have made every effort to do so. But I assumed for the reasons above that it might not be that good of an idea!</p>
<p>It was not because I didn't want to -- I certainly did. I thought it was more polite not to, but it's entirely possible I was mistaken. ;-)</p>

<p>people lug around phones and light laptops..neither use SL (anymore for laptops that is)</p>
<p>maybe LL will buy all attendees a 1000 dollar laptop next year so that you can see them in use.</p>
