As you may know, Linden, on October 4th, announced a plan to raise prices for educational and non-profit users of Second Life and not a little increase, a whopping doubling of the previous discount.

For me it holds many memories of speaking to large and appreciative audiences, the remains of the Berlin Wall, the Checkpoint Charlie museum, Christmas markets, Unter den Linden, Alexanderplatz, Ka De We, and the Brandenburg Gate.
