i know i saw it somewhere but can't find it now.

is it possible to have two or more SLs running concurrently, each logged into with separate accounts?

Place --multiple on the command line. To tell you how to do that, we need to know what sort of OS your computer runs.

Find the icon (shortcut on desktop works) for SL, right click it and select Properties, go to the shortcut tab, then on the line that says 'target', ADD ";(space)-multiple". So, for example, mine reads, Target: "C:\Program Files\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe" -multiple .

Hope that helps.

I just use multiple computers. ^_^

I bought a used laptop this last weekend. It can *barely* run SL. So, just because I now could, I logged in four different accounts from four different computers. Kind of a dumb thing to do, really, but now I can say I've done it at least once.

My friends were less than amazed. ^_^

Ever, I surprized when i found it awhile back. I thought i never see LLabs support this concept.
