As David acknowledged to the audience before launching into a audio geek show and tell session, "Your equipment depends on your needs.

Pathfinder gave a presentation to a small group in Cambridge , while his audio (some of the time) was streamed into Second Life along with his Powerpoint Slides. As Jeska Linden, Community Manager, for Linden Labs, said in her recent interview with me, "This isn't for all nonprofits." I also turned off my audio.
