I'll say Amen! to that! But, really, it's not the game aspect of
Secondlife, it's the technology of it that I thought you'd be curious
about. Somehow they're streaming live audio without a blip nor a bloop,
while all of the graphical refreshes are happening. nVidia capabilities
are being pushed to the max, and I am flat out impressed by it. Maybe
get one of your minions to examine it as Squeak seems to have an issue
with nVidia and libGL under Linux. 

Back to the tools, Croquet and Squeak are like Java, it's cross-platform
so yeah, sh*t happens. But, with all of the EDU's involved it might pay
nVidia to keep a hand in the thing, if only for future sales and growth
for the high-end users of your -very- fine product line...  meaning
people with grant money to spend on the latest and greatest video and
audio gear. That's just my two-cents worth. Oh yeah, the version of my
nVidia module is:

kmod-nvidia-1.0.9631-1.2.6.18_1.2868.fc6

That should be the most recent?? Thanks for your assistance,
International Man O' Mystery.
