Message no. 3 you guys ever heard of ICQ? it is like AOL NetMessanger but better and
easier, and best of all, is not AOL.

With it the program notifies the user when other people he has inputed are
on line. You can send messages, files, or do a straight, IRC like, chat.

I thought it would be good for this list and shadowtk because if we wanted
to work on a plot problem for instance, or share a thought it would be much
more immediate. Like chating without haveing to start another program, try
and get on a server,(the same type as the person you want to talk to) make
sure they are logged on as well, and find a room to meet in. these are all
problems with IRC programs. They don't exist in ICQ.

I think we should really consider it. I can send the address for picking up
the program, relatively small download, or attach it to a message

What do you think?

I use it (although I don't regularly post to the list, I am paying
attention). My ICQ is 301929 (No, I'm not leaving out any numbers). I
also use AOL IM (My nick is Phicksur, fixer was already taken) but fail to
see why those would be better than Email. Rarely is everyone on at the
same time, and sending it in Email allows one to consider and edit what
they are saying before they send it.

*chuckle* Umm, I beg to differ. ICQ is indeed owned by AOL. In my
experience, AOL Instant Messenger has been faster and more stable than
ICQ by a long shot -- ICQ has the advantage of having more features
at the moment, though.

I believe the current ICQ zip file is about 2.5 megs .. if you send that
to this list I will do "Bad Things" (tm) to you.

For those who are interested, however:

http://www.icq.com/ - ICQ
http://www.aol.com/aim/ - Instant Messenger

There are clones of both for Unix that can be found fairly easily via
http://www.freshmeat.net/.
