Explain please?
 
It's easy to spend money on the game's currency, Linden dollars.. for example when I fixed up my avatar I spent about $10 USD, getting skin, hair, eyes, etc..  I paid $10 USD a month for a residence, but you can also rent land, which can get expensive also.. but anyone here wouldn't have to do that, since Formentera Lady and I are renting the space I showed you in the picture.. but you can spend Linden on a plethora of things, tipping djs, buying clothes, animations, etc...  but on the flip side you can also create things and sell them, and can dj and get tips etc.. and say if you created things and sold them, you can in turn cash out the Linden for currency also..  But the Sheavy's point is the longer you play the more things you might want and to get them you may purchase the Linden..  like for example the stream I refer to I pay L$500 for a month for a certain amount of listeners which comes to about $2.50 USD a month ..  But for those who came in game I'd provide the streams for..  I am more interested in creating a community so to speak and try my best to advise to keep the game for free for most everyone involved..

You have to pay to get money in Second Life. The game itself is free, but to get stuff you have to use something like PayPal to get money in Second Life, which you can then use to buy whatever.

If I want to listen to music with others, LR is fine for me, I have no interest in installing/using Second Life.

I don't think my computer can run Second Life until I get a new video card, and Listening Room is more convenient for me anyway.

Currently Plankowner and I are sitting in a virtual room (i.e. Second Life) and listening to Kayo Dot at the same time.
Plankowner plays the music from his computer (with winamp). And we both listen to it. We move through the virtual room through avatars (see pic above). My avatar is the one on the left. Plankowner's avatar sits in the middle.

At any time I can take the stream and play music from my computer, and Plankowner will hear that.
We can talk with voice or chat with text about it.

I wasn't referencing 16th century literature, but my latest Academy dictionary. Want me to quote it?

Yeah, word usage in the 1500s is still pretty relevant today.

Sorry, but we here invented this term and its usage for you, you don't "own" it. Wink

I'll take the Academy's word over yours.

You're doing it wrong.

Not really.
