You'd have to make a new one that is environmentally friendly.

hmm- maybe wind powered?
/me wonders if the use of silk in the making of anything would inflame PETA peeps and if Gor(e) is Green...

I've never told this story to a married, female friend without evoking a sigh and a smile. For a moment I can see her 'get' the appeal of SL, and I can see her thinking...'My husband NEVER write me software anymore!' :p

This is the sweetest, geeky thing i have ever read :) If SL could get into RL i would ahve little puffy hearts floating around me right now.. awwwww ...

All my friends and family take me seriously... which is how I like it.
They don't, however, take SL that way... which is something I don't care to take the time to try to change.

No, but I've been subject to more than one tacky 'intervention' that, quite frankly, made me feel embarrassed for the people staging the intervention.

I've been threatened with such an intervention at times.. makes me laugh and I know for sure my reaction would be the same as yours.

I *used* to work for a RL company that has a pretty big presence in SL so I was able to convince my manager that I should be our department's liaison to the development groups working in SL. Unfortunately, I was the victim of a mass resource re-allocation earlier this year so that squeeky-clean AV has pretty much been abandoned.

As for right now, none of my friends or family really know about SL or that I even spend much time there. Likewise, except for what I just divulged in the paragraph above, none of my SL friends really know that I have a RL or what I do there. So there's no discussion positive or negative on either side of the cyber-divide.

If any one were to damage my computers on purpose in order to terminate my on-line life - there would be divorce lawyers involved- and i am so serious -

Do your RL friends (if you have any) laugh and make fun of you when you tell them you live your life in a cyber world or do they (as true friends should) sympathise with you and take you seriously? Do friends and family do enough to make people realise that RL is what matters?
I solved the problem of RL friends laughing at me by getting rid of all RL friends. I am now also considering getting rid of the RL family that complains about SL.

As to your last statement -- you are making an invalid assumption -- RL is way over rated, SL is where it is all at and what it is all about.

There's this cat at the hangout that was reading a book about it. She explained it to a few of us, but I did not really get it.

None of my offline friends or my family have scoffed when they see my dance videos, and see the huge emotional lift I get when I show them and discuss secondlife. My family knew me when I used to be able to dance, and have endured my frustration over the decades of not being able to do so any more. Only a few of my offline friends are privvy to the *other* more steamy activities available in secondlife.

My friends are kind of fascinated at what I tell them of SL. It's all pretty put there.

And just to add, as I read this quickly late last night, then typically slept while the rest of the world had more time to respond; I answered in good faith, completely missing the shallow-mindedness of the opening question. My answers in order...

Yes, I do.
No, they don't.
No, they shouldn't.
Yes, they do.
No, they don't have to, as it doesn't.
And, get stuffed, mate.

Yes. The same people laughed in 1996 when I was the first one among them to have a web site. Being a girl made that even worse. Later they asked me for help when they wanted to get "online" too... So now I am waiting. :D


Really this is the vary big truth.

We are the beginning of the new generation of technology.

Soon we will all living in more of a second life then a real life + Your second life will become a lot more realistic.

I made this comment in response to one of your posts in another thread, but thought I would toss it in here too since it fits so well - and by your post count, it is hard telling what you may or may not even be reading after you do your troll postings:

BTW -- Given your attitude shown by your posts, why are you here in SL? If you truly believe what you post, then you are a hypocrite for being here. If you do not, then you are nothing but a troll.

My friend knows about me in SL, and she thinks it is cute, but something she is interested in. I even have a digital photo display on my desk showing pictures from SL (and her ultra cute daughter), but so far my coworkers are too scared to say anything about it. :)
