Beverly,

I just opened second life..Looks like an adult video game. Just my opinion, 
but I'd rather be out in the fresh air creating a real world! Think I will 
go pick a fresh tomato from the garden...

> Second life is a virtual world with real money transactions and is

> by Wells Fargo, Reuters, and a soon-to-be named Fortune 10 company. (Not
> Microsoft.)

> One of the vendors, Electric Sheep, sells rather nice horses

> While my feeling is I have enough to do in the physical world, 
> horse-related
> SL commerce is an excellent opportunity for a non-horsey, high-tech spouse,
> e.g., mine. We are throwing around some ideas...  One idea is to hold
> endurance rides. Might be good advertisement for the real thing.
>
> Some facts about second life
> - over 1 million members - membership is free or premium
> - real $US spent per day: $half million
> - one person alone has made 100s of 1,000s of real US $$ selling land
> (there is also the native currency, Linden Dollars, w/ a conversion 
> factor.)
> - right now there seem to be NO horses on the land masses
>
> If anyone is interested in horse-related activities on SL, e.g. endurance
> rides or buying an island for horse rescue w/ RL (real life) contributions
> to RW (real world) organizations, please PM me--esp if you have a high-tech
> spouse or friend from the 3-D animation or gaming industry. We bought some
> starter property, are considering buying a small island.
