Great idea! I will pass it on to my SL woman, who loves to shop.

"Bandwidth is about 130kbps ping is about 150." You have to look at the bottle necks. Your bandwidth is low. If you go to a new location, downloading the textures would take a while. Add to that, all the woman want to wear 4000 prim hair! Suggestion: Google something like "lowering your graphics settings for Second Life" and learn to live without shadows, huge particle counts and the other fluff that comes with 2.7.2. Or spend money on higher bandwidth and hope that is the only thing you need to buy. (I use Emerald.) BTW, there is no reason to use 64-bit Windows anything, unless you want to use more that 4-gigs of RAM. In fact, sometimes there are driver and compatibility issues that are a real pain. I used Vista 64-bit and am now on Windows 7 64-bit. I have 8 gigs of RAM, because I use a graphics program that takes advantage of all the memory it can find. Otherwise, I would have switched to 32-bit a long time ago and saved myself some stress. I also have a 3 meg download speed on DSL. I still see gray clouds, my pants bunch around my ankles and I look like Alice at times. I have been wanting to buy a solid-state drive for my rig, but when I consider the cost, I always change my mind. Lowering the graphics setting costs nothing.

I think they have improved. I saw a few cars on the road today and I tried to flip them and run them off of the road. They can't be made to stay off road, even if someone manages to get one off of it. When I clicked on them and selected edit, they started to rise, derez and rez again down the road. They try to avoid hitting AVs and, since I had on my Move Lock, the cars searched for a way around me, then fly over my head if they could not find one. Afterwards, they stayed on the road. I can ride my bike now and not have to worry about the cars. Also, when my bike crashed onto someone's land or went under the roadway, it returned to the road too! I just recently bought the bike and I don't know if its scripts detect the pavement, but I can always ride back home on the original bike. Maybe part of the 'fix' was done by Linden Labs. I like it. :matte-motes-smile:
