Interesting and informative
I've had this for a few years and noticed it hasn't had a review yet, so here goes...
i bought this mainly because I thought it was interesting to see how many people are logged into Second Life at any given time. Since then, I've started a small business of my own and keep this in an office area where I can keep an eye on it from time to time.
It's very basic, which is a plus and a minus. It doesn't bog you down with tons of details, but sometimes I wish it would show additional stats, like breaking it down by time zone or country. Still, for the price, I'm happy with it.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because there aren't additional options for changing how it looks. It looks like a blackboard, which is fine, but it doesn't really match the rest of my decor. Giving it a HUD to change how it looks would be fantastic.
