I really don't think it lagg so much...as lack of awareness and population of people who use the web and gammers ect...perhaps we as a nation don't use these things as much. There has been a bit of information and press about SL but its usually the same old same old, cyper sex ect...not a lot of intelligent well informed press about how you can use SL other than that..SL is just not on the Australian map so to speak...the aussies will be left behind as usuall with these things, the only sucessfull early adopters here in SL are Bigpond and the Virtual TV industry which we have cracked.<br>We have some great people in Australia using SL for educational purposes and a few very sucessfull musicians. Is there a list anywhere of Australian Buisnesses in SL? love to see it<br>Paisley Beebe host of Toninght Live on <a href="http://www.slcn.tv" rel="nofollow">www.slcn.tv</a>Paisley BeebeMon, 25 Feb 2008 19:41:19 -0000
