Is anyone a member of secondlife? Are you excited with it?

I considered the idea, but decided against it for several reasons:- 1 It seemed to be quite expensive; there were various levels of membership, size of plot to built your virtual house, etc. 2 It seems to require a lot of computer power, a really fast connection for it to be worthwhile. Not sure if I would require a video card? 3 Already spend too much time on the internet, not enough pursuing my healing dream!!! I think that for some people it could be good fun. But with the way civilisation is going, what with the credit crunch, 'peak oil' etc, it is pretty frivolous in the scheme of things! So apart from an entertainment benefit, there is really no other benefit from it. Have a good one, Andrew. :~)
