FWIW I am in favour of keeping IRC going as well, if people are still
going to use it ;)

ICQ is a good point to point talker, but large groups get unwieldy -
IRC is much more user-friendly, and doesn't have the platform/speed
constraints of ICQ IMHO. ICQ is still very good at what it does, I
Seek You, that is finding people when you want them if they happen to
be online.

Regards, Andrew

Hiya Gupp :)

Of *COURSE* you are still invited over. Geeze! ;) ;)

As for the computer stuff, you can certainly try, but the guys all told me
that it don't woik too dandy on Windoze 3.1. Of course, they *are* just
guys -- maybe us chicks can make a go of it, what say? ;)

I still don't think, tho', that irc should be scrapped that quickly, as I
am sure that I am not the only one out there who might not be able to join
ICQ. Don't wanna leave anyone out.

PS: What's up Sun? Blip me if you're free. :)
