I thought it all was rather spectacular for the various software parts
that have been put together, with a very large server farm, and a
surprising number of users, to form an elaborate virtual world complete
with its own economy.

>From comments on the night, some users appear to be quite addicted to
the virtual world including one of our members now suffering reduced
sleep due to too long online!

We also had Simon virtually rebuilding Ray's machine during the evening.
If only someone had also brought a LAN switch... ;-)


Thanks to Jim for a very good talk and presentation.

Thanks also to http://ineedbroadband.co.uk/ for helping us out for
getting onto the internet.


Watch this list for What Next :-)

Cheers all,
Martin
