Reasons to Use

Remember. This is a metaverse viewer, meaning it is good for use in Second Life as well as Open Life and the OSGrid and related virtual worlds. It is one of the leading viewers for moving your creations from world to world. If you created it, you can move it between worlds.

The Grid Manager allows users to save logons for several worlds and add technical connection information for various grids. Meerkat and Hippo viewers are leading the way in providing easy multi-grid/world access.

The minimap/radar has new features to help you find people.

Bunches of the Greenlife Emerald Viewer features have been added to this Imprudence Viewer release.

Reasons NOT to Use
