The only issue I see to this proposal is who will pay for the server? After
all indirectly that is what the tiers pay for. Use of the server. The http
and email functions already allow someone to run programs on their own
server with only minimal script footprint inside SL(tm). I guess Linden Lab
won't not mind selling none simulators computer time if they had surplus
servers.
