Editor's Notes
- #2 Second Life is a 3D virtual world built and owned by the program users. Members use avatars – who look a lot like the characters in the Sims multi-user environment video game. With your avatars you navigate through a smorgasbord of activities. Basic membership is free. This is a very exciting subject.
