Like most of the posts I'm seeing here, I was only able to log in once after trying and trying. Otherwise, there's a long wait and then the disappointing message "Too Many People Are Trying Second Life." Also, I'm having the same text problems that others talk about. The only way I could get text into the chat window was by copy/pasting it from a notepad. Then, when it was placed in, I hit 'enter' and nothing happened. Very disappointing, BUT... The one time I was able to log in, I realized what I've been missing out on all these years. It zipped along like I've never seen before. I have an old computer that crashes when there's too many AVs in a SIM. The graphics card overheats and freezes everything but the mouse. I usually have to reboot the entire computer. I was mind blown to see how amazing it looked and how snappy the response was. The colors are really vivid. At first, I was unable to walk. Then I looked at the intro tutorial. I left clicked on my AV and voila! I was able to walk. This has ridiculously good potential even to the point where, if you can get it working well, many users of the various viewers (I use Firestorm), may switch permanently to the browser. It's pretty damn awesome!
