Can you purchase a seat on a tourbus for instance that makes stops throughout SL so you can get out and stretch your virtual legs with some other curious newbie visitors, and have someone next to you whom you can chat with as you both gaze for the first time on new beauties and wonders there?

"wonderful, yeah! now hit 'em with a baseball bat" - uberquote,,, How many people have access to SL? perhaps, the laws of economy decide. real virtuality? that’s been around for a while… um?
