Amiga Gathering in Second Life

[koaftder]

Hello!

I don't know if many have heard but there is going to be an Amiga Demo Party in Second Life this August.

I was thinking that in order to get more people to attend we should do a weekly meet up in Second Life.  This way people that have never used Second Life can log on and get use to using it.

Second Life accounts are free.  I know sometimes there is resistance to new technology and there is especially a lot of misconception around Second Life, but it is pretty cool technology and to me it is just the next step from IRC.

I was thinking we can meet up at the IBM site.  We just need to nail down a date and time that works best.  You can talk in Second Life like IRC or with a microphone if you choose.  If you don't use a mic you can still listen and just type yourself.

Here is a link to the IBM site.

If you need any help getting on please post in this thread.

I wonder how many furries will be milling about...

I'll show up for a meetup. I've had an account there for years, haven't signed on in months. Any time is good with me.

Well, we had a better turnout than expected.  I'll see you guys' avatars next week.  

Yea, I was expecting nobody! Quite a few guys turned up. Had some great Amiga chat.

Ha! My laptop overheated and shut down. I guess it's time to retire this one.

I hear you. My macbook's fan was blasting. Second Life clients peg a machine. If it was any worse, the machine would have rocketed off my desk, hit the wall and set my apartment on fire.
