Tycho:  It's floating around now, out there on the Wub, and it calls to you.  Or maybe it does, I don't actually know.  In any case, it can be got from 3D Downloads, the Fileplanets, GamersHell, or WorthDownloading.  Download it from mulltiple sites simultaneously for a naughty thrill.  God only knows how this would run on my Vista rig at home, but it's a Vista rig, so you can probably guess.  (CW)TB

Unless you have been living under a rock for the six months, you will have noticed that the virtual world Second Life is much in the news.  According to its home page, there are currently around 1,700,000 residents, who are spending $600,000 â that's real, not virtual, money â in the world each day.  These figures are a little deceptive â there are typically only 10,000 to 15,000 residents online at any one time, and the money flow is not a rigorous measurement of economic activity â but there is no doubt that Second Life is growing very rapidly; moreover, we are beginning to see it enter the mainstream in a way that has close parallels with the arrival of the Web ten years ago.
