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 -- My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
