Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

The positive is that this is a pretty incredible virtual world and some great enabling technology that I'd find very helpful. The UI is great and it's visually impressive. Well... until I try and click/touch something. SecondLife locked up my MacBook Pro twice in about five minutes. It's not a full kernel panic, but everything grinds to a halt. My machine is a MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo (I), 2Ghz, 2Gigs Ram. For the last 3 months, the vast majority of my reboots have been because of Apple updates (update iTunes, force reboot... grrr). Anyway, Second Life sounds phenomenal but the Mac version needs some _serious_ loving by Linden.

The application does not seem to record its existance in /Library/Receipts so an uninstall is a very manual process. Searching on SecondLife, "Second Life" and Linden seems to be the key. Remember the quotes on "Second Life" or you'll come back with everything that has the words second and life anywhere.

If you actually happen to get anywhere, it will probably cache things somewhere in your user folder, too.

I had exactly the same problems. I will never download this software again.
