I tried signing up to play Second Life last night. I went through the registration process, which was fairly quick, and then I had to download the 25MB client software. I almost baulked at that, but decided to go for it. Once it had downloaded I tried to install it and it told me that my graphics card was unsupported and it would not be able to run.
I was a bit suprised by that. My graphics card is a couple of years old, but it is a ATI Radeon 9200, which is not that obscure, and it is powerful enough to run Half Life 2.
Never mind, it probable saved me getting sucked into another productivity void. I just spent a couple of hours on Vice City instead. I have got a thing about buying old games for a about a fiver of Ebay. I already have Vice City for my PS2, but I can never be bothered getting the PS2 out anymore. (I keep meaning to sell it.) I bought Vice City because some clever people set up an online version of it, which you needed the PC version of to be able to play, but I never got around to trying it. In fact I had forgotten about it until just now. I should have tried that last night instead.
