OF COURSE! It is something that those of us used to Second Life tend to take for granted I suspect that the whole second life experience is experimental. We expect problems, ignore rendering problems, seeing grey people etc etc....but for those seeing SL for the first time, especially after the hype and enthusiasm that can accompany the promotion of it, some expect to see a far more stable and perhaps sophisticated space. I am coming to realise the importance of emphasising not only the huge technical achievements of creating Second Life in the first place but also its evolutionary nature. I am sure that we will look back on SL2008 in a few years time and wonder at its crudity, instability and inefficiencies.......but for now - it is important to at least begin to explore the potential that these space offer us.

But this evening was so much fun. The music was fabulous. I have only one complaint...it wasn't long enough! But, I just don't think I have the bum for the crazy dancing!
