Hi Barb: IRC chat DUKE says hello.. You may have been caught in a net split which is no fault of your machine. Thats usually the problem when you can see others but your typing doesn't show up. The easiest way to sole problem is to shut down the mirc program or pearch which ever you are using and exit irc chayt. Then reconnect and you are usually back in with the group. If you were in to the point of seeing others you probable do not have to push or find the thingahmagig. DUKE ON IRC CHAYT
