I really dislike this idea as well. Unlike skype SL is not something you want started automatically as you login into your computer. * The goal of making SL start faster is noble, but saving one click there isn't going to help much * I happen to know a lot of people who really like the splash screen and are in awe of scenes that get rotated there, kudos to those Lindens who made them! * The login screen provides useful information, latest blog posts, grid status, etc. -- L _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/SLDev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
