Agatha Macbeth: Sounds like a fair balance
arabella Ella: i tried to download phoenix today but was not successful
arabella Ella: kept on getting that page could not be accessed try again
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Agatha Macbeth: I didn't have any probs when I did it
arabella Ella: yes maybe more gremlins?
arabella Ella: it felt weird
Agatha Macbeth nods
arabella Ella: i will try again tomorrow
Agatha Macbeth: Not sure if there's a new version out
arabella Ella: at the moment i use emergence but seems like phoenix has more support and is more similar to emerald
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, it is :)
Agatha Macbeth: But I'm seeing you as using Viewer 2, which is strange
arabella Ella: oh
arabella Ella: i am definitely using Emergence which is another third party viewer
Agatha Macbeth: My radar doesn't even recognise Mick's viewer...
arabella Ella: LOL
Agatha Macbeth: So I can't guess what it is
Yakuzza Lethecus: i guess mick is still on the old viewer 1 ?
Yakuzza Lethecus: are you mick ?
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, could be
Agatha Macbeth: Wow, didn't know anybody still had that!
Yakuzza Lethecus: i was surprised when i installed the latest imprudence
arabella Ella: or that it was still possible to use it
Agatha Macbeth: My very first viewer
Yakuzza Lethecus: it is still very much like the old sl viewer
Mickorod Renard: sorry, yes still on the old one
Yakuzza Lethecus: how could you mick ? :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: :P
Mickorod Renard: and in fact,,i downloaded it onto my later laptop too
Agatha Macbeth: Good for you :)
Mickorod Renard: when u get old like me then these modern thingies are just an added complication
Agatha Macbeth: Tell me
Agatha Macbeth: Like Wol said 'Whoever created Viewer 2 obviously never uses SL'
Yakuzza Lethecus: i always wonder why ppl prefer using text
Yakuzza Lethecus: mankind used voice for so many 1000 years
Mickorod Renard: if it aint broke dont fix it
Qt Core: with time you get used even to v2  (Really? :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: and then suddenly everyone wants to use some unnatural modern thing called writing
Qt Core: especially after they got the cam control back togheter
Yakuzza Lethecus: really weird :)
Agatha Macbeth: Well, here it's to do with the recording I would think
Agatha Macbeth: Text isn't so bad
Agatha Macbeth: No accents :)
arabella Ella: words give me time to think
Qt Core: yes, but learning to write and read a different language is easier
Qt Core: you can correct your phrase before sendng it
Agatha Macbeth: Easier for the hard of hearing (like Arch)
Qt Core: (that is if we don't choose one of the most awful spelled language in the world)
Mickorod Renard: my hearing is poor too
Agatha Macbeth: There you go, Mick :p
Mickorod Renard: especially when listening to women
Agatha Macbeth glares at Mr Renard :D
arabella Ella: oh so now males speak more clearly do they?
Agatha Macbeth: Ha
Yakuzza Lethecus: i have to drop myself in my bed, sleep well everyone
Yakuzza Lethecus: only europeans today
Agatha Macbeth: Schlaf gut Yaku
Mickorod Renard: nite yaku
Yakuzza Lethecus: danke, du auch agatha!
Qt Core: 'night yaku
arabella Ella: nite Yaku

Agatha Macbeth: Oh, I didn't see that
Mickorod Renard: I wondered what we do here

arabella Ella: about his new book chapter
arabella Ella: so what u reckon Mick?
Agatha Macbeth: I probably delated it by accident [sigh]
Mickorod Renard: I do that
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm...
Mickorod Renard: otherwise i would be too popular
Agatha Macbeth: Course ya would

arabella Ella: i replied today then Ewan did too
Agatha Macbeth: But you're popular anyway
Mickorod Renard: yes, do u know Ewan?
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, I missed the original but I have your reply Ara...
Mickorod Renard: me popular?,,if only
Agatha Macbeth: Got the link...
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, yes...I'll take a look at that
Mickorod Renard: I guess it puts it in words that I can understand,,always helpful,,,but I seem so distracted with so many practices at the moment I find it all a bit too much

The blonde one poofs....
Agatha Macbeth: Oops, we lost Ara :(
Mickorod Renard: I sometimes wish that I could let go of my responsibilities,,then I could live life as portrayed in all these spiritual guidances

I read on....
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, that's very good
Agatha Macbeth: Trust Pem
Agatha Macbeth: Isn't that the real trick tho Mick?
Mickorod Renard: yes, i guess it is
Agatha Macbeth: Just workin out the best way of acheiving it, and what works for you
Mickorod Renard: I sometimes feel like the two ways of life just dont work together
Agatha Macbeth: Like two different people existing side by side
Qt Core: winning a lottery may help... or not :-)
Mickorod Renard: like this week i am on holiday,,but i am so conditioned to working at stuff I cannot chill out enough to relax and appreciate what i have around me
Agatha Macbeth: It might help me :p (to Qt)
Agatha Macbeth understands that (to Mick)
Agatha Macbeth: Switching can be difficult sometimes
