On a personal note, she is one extremely funny, laughter-loving ..highly intelligent, down to the roots of the earth, easy, classical person.

Suzanne, thank YOU again for being so patient and gracious with helping me customize the grand piano I've had on my land in Grasmere ever since.

It was certainly amazing to see the cover art that you had done, and also the various pictures of the watermelon piano on flickr. :) (waiting for windlight to get new piano pictures *grins*) Thank you for the kind comments Torley, and very glad to hear that you have enjoyed the piano.

]]> Comment on Pearl by Suzanne Zeluco http://szdesigns.wordpress.com/2007/10/07/pearl/#comment-6 Suzanne Zeluco Sun, 14 Oct 2007 12:29:12 +0000 http://szdesigns.wordpress.com/2007/10/07/pearl/#comment-6 Thank you for your comments Bing and David. Regarding Second Life for Real Life companies, all I know is that Second Life can be much more demanding place for a real life business, than many of the excited articles in the media this year might let us know. There are lots of possibilities, but to me it seems that many real world companies come to Second Life with unrealistic hopes and expectations. And many of the real world companies seem to be bit confused what the virtual world residents want. At least for the time being the biggest confusion seems to be that many people in the virtual world are only interested in virtual goods - and have very little interest towards real world advertising or real world goods presented in the virtual world. It seems that this concept is very hard to understand for some people, and I have heard more than one time asked questions like "why would anyone want to spend real money for virtual goods". And if the real world company doesn't understand that concept, they will very likely fail in the virtual world. My best advice would be to actually spend time in Second Life, and finding out what it really is all about. At least for a month. Explore and learn about things, look around, find out what people want and what they do in the virtual world. That would be much better approach than the one what seems to be too common with real world companies: read an excited business article about Second Life, hire someone to create a virtual world presence and then sit back to expect positive results from that. Thank you for your comments Bing and David.
