                | April Firefly Idiosyncratic Poster   Join date: 3 Aug 2004 Posts: 1,253 | 08-03-2005 15:58 A year ago yesterday I made a big change in my life.  I traded my PC Laptop for a Powerbook.  It was not so much a big change, I had macs since they first came out.  When it came to computers, I go both ways.  But I was used to playing an online game called TSO.  I played it mostly at work, where there was a lot of downtime.  I still had a PC at home but my LCD Mac, the one with the gooseneck, was my main computer at home.  So by trading my PC laptop, I was in effect going Mac almost all the way.  This meant no more TSO.  I realized I would have to find a new Online Game. So I did a quick search online and found several mac compatible games.  One was 2-d, one was basically whacking poor little animals to gain points and another was Second Life.  I realized I had tried Second Life a few months earlier but hadn't really stuck with it that long.  I decided to try it again.  That was August 3, 2004. It's been a glorious year.  I've done some things I only dreamed about in TSO.  I've had so much fun and met so many wonderful creative, talented people.   So thanks SL for a wonderful year, thanks LL for making a cool game and thanks to all of you for enriching this game for me.
