We're looking to build an EDU world for prison rehab... using all of my
rowdy friends to do it. What precluded us from using SL was we need the
security of the entire enterprise to be on a localnet. And, most of our
target sites have fiber networks. NICE! It's going to be one heckuva
ride. We'll be totally open source, so whatever we come up with with be
shared, no worries about Linden Dollars, chasing down copiers, or any of
that. But, I doubt anyone would STEAL from my group. Not if they're
sane. <grins> Ric
