I also don’t think the technology is affordable enough. I had a couple of friends who were big into second life and always tried to get me to join in and I did but my machine was so sloooooooow and my connection was so choppy that it wasn’t fun. Now mind you I had the same experience with Napster - it took me 4 hours to download one song and I said to myself man this stuff will neeeeeever take off and I was so wrong about that it’s almost funny. But millions of people having access to high end equipment to go online and socialize just seems so far from realistic to me. But as I mentioned in another comment on this thread I was wrong about basically everything with regard to the modern internet so there’s a strong chance I’ll be wrong on that too!
