"P.S. I searched for an online community to be able to talk with people all over the world, which has been my hobby in various forms since 1975.
I found out about what was then called "Alpha World" around 1995. I was searching for an online community and did a Yahoo! search. Alpha World came up, I downloaded it, but can't recall if I ever registered through email.
I had a 386 with 4 megs of ram (updated from 2 which cost $80.00 at the time). The program took up nearly all of my harddrive space so I had to delete it.
In 1997, someone mentioned for me to try Active Worlds in a Pow Wow chat room. At that time I had just purchased a PB with enough ram and harddrive space, so I downloaded the program, and became a citizen on Friday November 7, 1997 4:04PM.
My first object

Heart Lane - A tourist object Sat Nov 8, 1997 2:33 PM
This object is still in Alpha World (has not been deleted).
I own one world, FiveGene which is the smallest world AW offers to experiment with as a hobby.
My house in this community (Click Here to Visit) combines old and new AW models. This was not done by accident. teleport 5425.82N 5100.12W 0.00a 228
The use of Pan Objects (which I used for the frame of my house) were among the first offered in Alpha World in which to build.
Triangle pieces were used for my walk, which were not offered until much later. I recall having a house I built with an angled walk early on in my citizen days.
I had to overlap pieces, which did not look well, but back then we were pretty limited regarding objects. The use of the Indian Statues represents happy days in Yellowstone in 1998 building an object yard. : ) (Click here to visit.) teleport yellow 989.78N 328.86W 0.00a 93
My house here represents combining the old and the new, the memory of a Yellowstone build, the memory of what was my main home in Alpha World, the memory of my existing home (close to my first object) and Birde Perch represents a place close to AW GZ that I sat and watched chat as the Birde avatar. (To visit, first change your avatar to Birde so you'll sit on the perch correctly, then Click Here.) teleport 3.7N 0.5W 0.4a 191
