Make: Online : Second Life on ancient Apple

Second Life on ancient Apple

Impossibly geeky bugger streams Second Life through an Apple IIc.

[Sci-fi trivia note: Legend has it that an ad on a bus stop for the Apple IIc was one of William Gibson's inspirations for the "cyberdecks" in his Sprawl novels. So it's rather fitting to see a virtual world through its lens, however hopelessly pixelated.]
