There are times when an avatar, logging on, is restricted
to low-bandwidth connections. Mobile laptop connections, firewall issues, or
just plain choice may be the deciding factors to switch to a non-graphic
viewer. Fortunately, the Second Life third-party viewer (TPV) list includes
such gems as METAbolt ® and Radegast ®.
Sometimes one has to make a choice whether to log on at
all, or to use text-only viewers. One of the earliest text-only viewers was the
famous AjaxLife that was developed by then 15-year-old Katharine Berry and
gained wide popularity until it fell by the wayside, probably due to the
demands of the upkeep. Today, the TPV list has two text-only viewers, METAbolt
and Radegast.
