    ContreCourant Resident: great name
    SophiaSharon Larnia: the guardians here have plots with their objects on them. Yes, it is :)

    --BELL--
     
    SophiaSharon Larnia: no topic Storm, rather quiet
    ContreCourant Resident: Are you the person who filled this place with flowers Storm?
    Storm Nordwind: Some of it, I guess :)
    Storm Nordwind: People often bring their own too!
    ContreCourant Resident: Bring their own flowers?
    Storm Nordwind: Sure. They wear them. Or they plant them all around us for just one session here
    Storm Nordwind: And the sim contains many flowers - i didn't plant them all, though all the ones you can see round here are probably from my trowel !
    SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
    Storm Nordwind: And if we tire of stone and matting, we can sit on daisy grass instead :)
    ContreCourant Resident: You are a super gardener!
    ContreCourant Resident: Daisy grass?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: thanks Storm
    Storm Nordwind: Like this!
    ContreCourant Resident: Oh!
    ContreCourant Resident: How did you do that?
    Storm Nordwind: Some people here have magical powers ;-)
    SophiaSharon Larnia: yes, some
    SophiaSharon Larnia looks at Storm
    ContreCourant Resident: I wonder where you keep your wand...
    ContreCourant Resident: I have a lot to learn in the magic kingdom of SL
    Storm Nordwind: If my magic brings a smile to other people, then I wave that wand :)
    ContreCourant Resident: smiles
    Storm Nordwind: But what I do, so can you too with just a little practice
    ContreCourant Resident: I can't even make my camera work yet
    Storm Nordwind: I would suggest that with your camera, you might throw away the popup controls and learn to use the keyboard and mouse
    ContreCourant Resident: ?
    ContreCourant Resident: Does that mean I have to be ambidextrous?
    Storm Nordwind: It is so much faster and more fluid to do so.
    Storm Nordwind: Not really, but those controls very quickly become intuitive.
    Santoshima Resident: you seem very adept already
    Storm Nordwind: So much so you'll be cursing your favorite browser for not allowing you to zoom in and look behind objects!
    ContreCourant Resident: I suppose so if you practise regularly. I do?
    Santoshima Resident: yes
    ContreCourant Resident: yes?
    SophiaSharon Larnia: Hi Ewan
    Storm Nordwind: For example, and as a test, there is a slideshow over there, showing a picture of people sitting here...
    Storm Nordwind: I will create a box behind it, and you can tell me what color it is :)
    ContreCourant Resident: where?
    Ewan Bonham: Hi Folks...:)
    ContreCourant Resident: Hold on a moment. I have to figure out how to see it
    SophiaSharon Larnia: nice to see you
    Santoshima Resident: hello
    ContreCourant Resident: hello
    Storm Nordwind: Behind this screen :)
    ContreCourant Resident: OK I see it now
    ContreCourant Resident: behind??
    Storm Nordwind: yes
    ContreCourant Resident: How do I see behind?
    Storm Nordwind: ah...
    ContreCourant Resident: Do you have x-ray vision?
    Storm Nordwind: Point your mouse pointer over the picture
    ContreCourant Resident: oops it chaged pictue
    SophiaSharon Larnia: no worries :)
    ContreCourant Resident: to i point or touch?
    Storm Nordwind: Hold down your Alt key and your pointer changes to a magnifying glass - kind of rectangular with a + in it
    ContreCourant Resident: point
    ContreCourant Resident: ok
    SophiaSharon Larnia: that works in viewer 2? hmm
    Storm Nordwind: Then Press and hold your left mouse button (with the alt still held) and slide your mouse forward
    Storm Nordwind: It will zoom to the picture
