Thanks Mac, I appreciate that.

I think I'll hold off on doing anything but play on my own network for now. The cost comparison is moot at this time since the server space and bandwidth I have access to is free to me through a client of mine.

Even though realX is *sort of* leaning in OSG's direction with the pre-packaged standalone OpenGrid servers if OSG isn't going to support some of the features realX is building in to their code (mesh building, new avatars, etc) then it makes no sense for me to connect to the OpenSim grid at this time.

I'll just bide my time a little more and rather than waste that time in SL building I'll play in my little sandbox until it's possible to connect to OLG or somebody else out there.

I just think my "play time" is better spent somewhere - anywhere - else than SL right now. But now that I have my accounts all set up at OSG and OLG I'll pop in from time to time but at the very least I'll keep up on their news and forums.
