<p>One of my colleagues remarked that we are both jilted lovers: we saw SL's utopian promise, only briefly, before it faded. Yeah, we'd both like it to come back. I recall how Burning Life with its interactive artwork showed me what was briefly possible.</p>
<p>I have been logging on a bit recently, even taking a few laggy, border-crossing (at one's own risk) road trips along empty mainland roads. Kinda like the RL roads now: less crowded, a little spooky even. Thanks for reading my stuff. I've not posted for years to "In a Strange Land" but may do a "Van Winkle" post about waking up and finding what I found. Got a bit of spare time and bandwidth now.</p>Argo N. commented on 'Survey Results: 12% Want a Discounted SL Sim for Educators & Non-Profits'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0240a4f4fb85200d2020-03-23T16:23:40Z2020-03-23T16:23:40ZArgo N.So, another topic -- SL friends who manage a large university site are very busy gearing up to bringing many...<p>So, another topic -- SL friends who manage a large university site are very busy gearing up to bringing many virtual classrooms online using SL by the end of the month. I certainly hope this works out well but I expect it will depend on prior investment, staff depth and clever student interns. </p>
<p>Others faced this challenge, below is another perspective. </p>

<p>I've followed Iggy's writings on SL since I got into this racket (SL)<br />
more than a decade ago. First praise, followed by disillusion - he is, I believe showing all the signs of a failed romantic. Like the secret fan <br />
of a once great baseball team, I think he still believes that second chance magic sometimes happens.</p>Mart Lou commented on 'Survey Results: 12% Want a Discounted SL Sim for Educators & Non-Profits'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0240a4f4c640200d2020-03-22T23:18:46Z2020-03-22T23:18:46ZMart LouThose who seen this in Iwz knows they better cash out ASAP!!<p> Those who seen this in Iwz knows they better cash out ASAP!!</p>Stan commented on 'Survey Results: 12% Want a Discounted SL Sim for Educators & Non-Profits'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0240a4f4c1e0200d2020-03-22T22:12:48Z2020-03-22T22:12:48ZStanI knew that Ebbe guy would end up killing SL or bankrupt the company forcing them to sell.
