The Preview Grid page on the SL website says "All users will have a starting amount of L$5000."

I have more than that, does it mean to say "All users will have a minimum starting amount of L$5000"?

Yes, actually. All users get +5000 L$ upon first connecting to the preview grid, AFAIK. For use on the preview grid only, of course. :)

No, I went to the preview and had more than 5k, but MUCH less than my main account has. No idea how they come up with the number.

I seem to have just what I had on whatever day they copied the accounts and other data, minus the purchases I made. I might have gotten 5,000 more but I wouldn't have noticed.

So, some folks would be able to play spend some play money they wouldn't otherwise have in the preview grid.

If you are broke in the main grid, you can go the preview grid and buy stuff to play with in preview with the 5,000.

Also I just like things like the notes on the download page to be correct. Apparently it's not.
