2016 NEW: HG: NMA low tech entry path for starting in Hypergrid. HGProject

NMA low tech entry path for starting in Hypergrid

Virtual worlds use to be for geeks.  Not any more.  Oh, there is lots to learn.  But you only need to learn what you want to use now.  Later, you will find other things you want to learn.  You can learn them then.   This entry path just teaches the skills you need to attend music shows, performances, meetings, classes, and chats.  And it starts on the web, where you are already at home.  

NMA entry path, go there.
