If 40 people can crash a sim and there are 40,000 people on average on there must be over a thousand sims at least, does anyone know for sure?

I guessing that each sim is on a separate harddrive? or can one harddrive be partitioned to make several sims? or am i way off base on what the actuall hardware that holds the sim is?

http://secondlife.com/whatis/economy_stats.php says there are 8836 islands.
Dunno if they really mean sims or if that's actually the number of private islands out there.. I'd guess the former. _____________________

From http://neighbours.maxcase.info/index.php it says 10900 sims. *shrugs* I think we can safely say: A LOT.

I'm not sure that LL uses any hard drives. They dont!! They use an old Commodore 64 floppy drive.  The random sim crashes are the result of them using a "Disk Notcher" to make another 'read' notch on the floppy disk so they can use both sides of a single sided 5.25" floppy disk. _____________________

I always said: only get double sided floppies.  may be more expensive but you save yourself a lot of trouble down the road. |
