at the same time.

Do I need to have a seperate computer running SL in order for me and my alt to coexist together?

I figure that the answer is yes, but I wanted to double check anyway.

You and your alt can be in SL at the same time with no problems. You can either use a seperate computer, or there's a simple command line modification that allows you to have more than one session of SL open at the same time (with different accounts logged in)

I don't have the exact details, but, I'm sure others will chip in

Add "-multiple" to the command line in properties, without the quotes. If your computer can run multiple instances of SL, then that should do it.

right click on the icon for SL. choose 'properties'
In the Target line, where is says "C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" or similar, add ' - multiple' without the '
You can now run multiple instances of SL.

EDIT: hmmf. Too slow lol
