I have a vague recollection of similar talk way back 1993 or 1994 about
web sites.

I am not convinced that SL is the wave of the future - it reminds me of
CompuServe.  Closed and proprietary is not the way to bet or so says the
lessons learned from the past fifteen years.

I want 'a' website I put one up at my house. Or I have it hosted for a
few bucks a month.  I want a site in Second Life ... I must login to
Linden Lab's server.  That's no way to build the future.

Where is the Apache counterpart to SL?
