[Whats the best Laptop for Secondlife?]

Not sure what the best is but budget will limit your selection greatly.

 

Just doing a fast search located this laptop: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=637440&CatId=3998

 

From the specs it should run just about anything. There are models with less ram and cost about $400 cheaper. I would recommend saving your money until you can afford a higher end system which can handle SL and other applications.

 

[Honored Avatars]

I think I was honored because I complain too much...  

[2.5 frequent crashing - anyone else having this problem?]

Yes. As soon as I finish loading SL crashes saying something must be wrong with the SIM, this is my studio and home but now there is a problem every time I log in. The recent update is very very very buggy and half as fast as previous versions. Something is seriously wrong and needs to be addressed ASAP before I say goodbye to SL for the very last time.

 

[Lighting script]

Have a look in the http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Scripting-Library/bd-p/LSLScriptingLibrary forum. There are scripts shared there. There always have been a place in the forums in the past to share scripts and scripting info, I would have a look there.
