I have to recommend this messenger program. If you have a mic/headset for your PC (my PS2 one works with my PC also) then I'd recommend checking it out. It allows free voice chatting, voicemail, talking, etc all like a messenger service. But, it uses up a lot less bandwidth than most other messenger services. The URL is www.skype.com/download/It works great for talking while playing online games that normally don't support the feature. Much easier than typing all the time. Anyway, just thought I'd mention this program. Pm me if you do get it and want to talk with me.

Yeah, I tried to get everyone into it a year ago and nobody bit. I finally got Steve into it a few months ago, but we don't use it that much because I don't think anybody signs into regularly like they do IM'ers. (Although you can use it as an IM program)
The best thing is you get phone quality audio for very little bandwidth. It would even work decent on dial-up (just maybe not if you were playing a game at the same time). Even when Steve and I conferenced with our youngest brother, the bandwidth didn't change much either - typically about 5 KB/s because it compresses on the fly (but records in high quality).
It's basically like software equivalent of broadband phone (Vonage), which you can even use to make land-line calls to other people for ~2 cents per minute.

Hmm. Well, from now on I'm gonna try to keep my Skype up and running whenever I'm online. I may get another headset to keep in the computer room so I don't keep having to unplug the PS2 one and move it.

Ok, I just added you to my list. So now you've got one other person to talk to.
