Product Description:

Second Life is a virtual world - a 3D online persistent space totally created and evolved by its users. Within this vast and rapidly expanding place, you can do, create or become just about anything you can imagine. Built-in content creation tools let you make almost anything you can imagine, in real time and in collaboration with others. An incredibly detailed digital body ('Avatar') allows a rich and customizable identity. A powerful physics simulation running on a backbone of hundreds of connected computers and growing with the population allows you to be immersed in a visceral, interactive world that as of November 2005 holds more than 80,000 residents. The ability to design and resell 3D content, combined with the ability to own and develop land and a microcurrency, which can be exchanged to real money means that you can build a real business entirely within Second Life.

Browsing through the comments relating to SL, I found myself at some circa 2005. Of particular interest was the one titled:

"A Virtual World which will change the way we work in the next few years..."
http://www.versiontracker.com/php/feedback/article.php?story=20050420161838663

And I laughed. Seriously, did anyone truly believe any of that sort of hype? Let me think about it as I drive my flying car on the colony on Mars as I wander through my paperless office.

Mnyeah, nah. Second Life has changed nothing. Google: Second Life abandoning
Or: Second Life deserting

Because people are walking away from it. I guess they're either ready to move onto their Third Life, or realizing they should have spent more time working on their First Life.

Crashed reliably. Often manages to crash the whole system.

Should not be released if it doesn't work.

Crap.

I tried an earlier version and it crashed repeatedly and crashes happened very quickly. Although I swore I'd never try it again, based on some reports I read online, I tried the latest release candidate (1.18.4.2) and found it was actually stable and usable. I'm using a MacBook Pro 2Ghz Intel Core Duo (I) with 2Gigs Ram and OS X 10.4.10.

I've just installed the current release (1.18.4.3) and it seems to be stable on my machine. The list of bug fixes was very long (at around 50 items I stopped skimming), so they _seem_ to be moving fast on improvements.

The bottom lines seem to be:
1) Second Life stability is very dependent on your hardware combination.
2) If the current release causes problems, try the release candidate:

If you do decide to try it, take the time to go through all the tutorials. They're well worth the time.
