I've also been away from SL for awhile and found this thread when i did a Google search trying to figure out what was up with my Ox DOS HUD. I used to love hopping around grabbing items or L$s! Great way to pass the time and see new places in the world. I tried to translate the page http://forum.oxdos.info/ that is shown on the two groups for Ox in the info section and it seems to be a Chinese breastfeeding page, LOL!
I think we're out of luck now, but I would like to know if there is a new alternative. I'll keep searching around.
