SERUG group founded in SecondLife

[Kat]

To follow up on the message I just sent about using SecondLife as a 
virtual meeting place for SERUG (SouthEastern [US] Revolution User 
Group), I'd like to reiterate that this organization is open to any 
Revolution developers who are interested, and with some of our meetings 
taking place online instead of in a physical location, it's practical 
for anyone anywhere to join us.  However, to use the SecondLife system, 
you do need broadband and a reasonably powerful computer.

SecondLife is a serious simulation game that is ripe for exploitation as 
a business tool as well as for all those people who think games are for 
fun. Silly people! ;-)

Accounts for SecondLife basic users cost a one-time fee of US$9.95, 
after a 7-day free trial. "Premium" accounts (which are required to buy 
"land" in SL) start at $9.95/mo or $72/yr and go up from there based on 
the amount of (virtual) land you own. The software is cross-platform 
(Mac/Win/*nix/etc.), but does require broadband as well as a lot of 
computer power. (See my previous message about that.)

If you already belong to SecondLife or decide to try it, and would like 
to join the SERUG group there, please IM me your request "in world".  If 
you have any questions about it, or about the RL ("Real Life") SERUG 
group that is getting organized now, feel free to contact me, or (after 
Aug. 19) Ralph Forehand. Ralph will be on vacation till then, so it's 
better to ask me if you want a quicker answer.

Cheers,
