Hi Michael,
I can understand why you were so excited the first time, but users tell me that at first they choose a very nice dream avatar and so the buddha-l you would be crowded with Majushri's and Vajradaikini's. But in the long run most people grow tired of their onw phantasies and end up with a sort of virtual clone of their everyday self. So at that stage we would have duplicated samsara and hte second one is even more time consuming than the first one. Think I'll pass!
