a backup is always a very good idea --- however, i'd like to point out that NONE of the OpenSim april 1 jokes caused data loss --- and was usually coded in such a way as to go away by itself on april 2 (your avatar might have looked a bit weird but only on april 1, or an bot-avatar might have told you to leave your region and claim it was his) OpenSim april 1 jokes are harmless, might be surprising, but never intend to cause damage. -- dr dirk husemann ---- virtual worlds research ---- ibm zurich research lab SL: dr scofield ---- [email protected] ---- http://xyzzyxyzzy.net/ RL: [email protected] - +41 44 724 8573 - http://www.zurich.ibm.com/~hud/ _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users
