But, I think back to the earlier days of the web and streaming media, and all the classes and/or events that got f'ed up by some router going down in Chicago or whatever and I think it's really just part of the growing pains of the thing. Since it's in no ones best interest that it remain unstable, it has to get better. I'm sure there's already a law for this, but if not I'm claiming it as Moonah's Law! ;-) It’s funny C.C., I was thinking about this after all the problems this weekend, and the fact that we are trying to organize a show in Second Life… a little scary!

While I haven't played around with it (nor would necessarily trust it's stability), there may be that option out there. You can also try Skype. While sending slides and videos to a group through Skype may be a royal pain in the butt, it could be done. I think that SL has enough stability problems that a "rain date" or location would certainly be a good thing. Anyone who will be attending meetings in SL would realize the importance of this, as we ALL deal with downtime and botched upgrades. John,

Or rain location - you could always use 37signals' Campfire or the bazillion IM options. True, none of them have the level of interactivity of SL, but if the show must go on... Rain date, maybe.

Might as well see the whole thing in real, legitimate 3D. You'd just need the fattest processor and pipeline known to man to pull it off. Pax, Matthew I think I’d be more interested in SL if you could buy VR goggles that would interface with the engine. Might as well see the whole thing in real, legitimate 3D.
