Look, I can log into Second Life right now, and it will work. (It just did.) I can go and buy clothes and put them on and pretty much all of the time they will be there. I can edit my appearance, it will change. If I am the sort to build or script I can do that and it will happen. 99.9% of the time.
We complain about the 0.1% of the time that it doesn't, and quite reasonably so - over all of the hours we spend there that works out to be quite a bit - but compared to this sort of thing, There/IMVU on the web which simply doesn't work, all it does is make me think that
SL is the best thing ever. Right now.
