i joined SL a very long time ago as well...used to be on Alpha World prior to that.
SL...don;t really lie it all tha tmuch..stuff costs real bucks. can't see the point in that..otherwise it was just flying around from place to place with not a whole lot going on, other than chatting.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
