Camilla, et al... The free (at this time) program named "ICQ" ( translate that as "I SEEK YOU") is an outstanding, very, VERY useful online resource! Touching only a few out of dozens and dozens of terrific features are INSTANT note exchanges you can have with your friends, family and/or strangers (depending upon what YOU CHOOSE to have in your set-up) INSTANT chat with anywhere from one to a dozen people no matter what country or city each of you are logged on from. You'll find TONS of forums on TONS of topics (and yeah - that does include porn and kiddie-forums) <but I chose not to go there so don't see it when I'm online> These are all UN-monitored forums unless the forum "owner" chooses to monitor their forums. You can have a free Web site on ICQ, and the good folks at ICQ (bought from it's original programmers a coupla months ago by????? - you guessed it - AOL!) <poetic justice on all you former AOLians who left that fold for greener virtual places>, and SOOO many site-enhancing and personalizing plug-ins are made available to all ICQ members that I couldn't even begin to describe 'em. For those of us (like MOI) who just uses ICQ to have the instant 24 hours daily 7 days per week messaging and the occasional instant spontaneous chat with a online friend or relative, there's the SIMPLE version of ICQ (wonderfully feature- laden - don't get fooled by the word "simple!") <smile>. For those of you who really want as many personal features as possible that will plug you into the whooooole spectrum of the online virtual world, ya can opt for the the complex and even MORE feature laden program. THE CHOICE IS YOURS! NOTE TO BERN: By the way, m'friend, I've been an ICQ member for 3 years (since it started) and have received only 3 porn messages originating from there my entire venue there - which I promptly ZAPPED into the far reaches of Cyberspace with one click on the "delete" key. I usually receive (and immediately delete) over a dozen porn, make-money-fast, and other unwanted and annoying messages via email each day (and more with each passing week!). Many USED to originate from MSN, but appear to be curbed by that service. Today's spammed porn, etc... emails seemed to originate from some unidentifiable email source. For those of you who might be interested in seeing more of the ICO progeam or want to download it, the Home page can be found at: www.mirabilis.com For FREE, this is one fantastic program, people! And _ I _ don't even get PAID for telling ya all this stuff 'bout ICQ!
