I'm not very good on CHAT things, as it needs fast/accurate typing to be understood, and by the time I've typed my little sentence about 10 replies have been posted changing the subject
and on some when I've tried to scroll back to get the gist of it, another 10 replies have been posted
(I've only been typing since I got a computer in '02 when I was about 42 still...I think I'm much faster than I was, but not if all my faculties need to be involved as well as my stiff fingers

.)
P.S. my brother introduced me to MSN Voice last year...if anyone has MSN i.m. you can just choose the 'Voice' thing.
I spoke to online friends in kentucky and New York State through this.
