I've only been able to get into SL today for a few minutes at a time due to RL pressures and have been b*tching about it to my RL family, as they were told again and again to get off my planet on on SLB5, but that is RL for you.

Anyhow, Did the Lindens ever tell us what the big announcement was? They said they had one that they were saving for SLB5, so what was it?

I plan on forgetting completely about it. If it's about SL 2.0 great. They need to slowly bring that one out.

They must be cutting corners. I heard you were going to be the Village Idiot as well.

Shouldn't they release SL 1.0 first?

I think they gave up on it. I mean, look at the hopeless mess they made, banging on things! Maybe for 2.0, they'll use actual coders? :p

Its one thing to be the village idiot but surely its far worse to be the Linden Village idiot?
