I have the IM, and wanted to know if anyone else had one too. I'd like to have some people that I can IM, for computer problems, or the like. If you have one, give me your screen name...thanks

I don't use MSN messenger because it came out later than ICQ http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif I prefer ICQ because it just is easier and a little more powerful (but less protective from spam). I use ICQ and AIM.

I'll put it this way:
If the majority of Sysopt members used, MSN IM, I would use it.
As it stands now, the majority use ICQ, which sucks IMO, but I still use it. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

ICQ is unreliable, loaded with a maze of weird, unneeded features, etc.

Sorry, man http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

That's alright, I figured since I just downloaded it, and I use it to communicate w/ my Dad in Austin from here @ school, I thought I'd see if I could add somebody from SYSOPT, that way I could get puter-advice instantly http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
I've tried just about every other IM out there, I agree ICQ is a bit loaded, MSN is convenient 'cause i've had an acct. w/ them since '98.

So if anyone else has it, share it, thanks!

PS. It'd be great if Sysopt had a chat room

you should tre yahoo IM instead. You can talk back and forth with it. And you just hit enter to send it unlike clicking send or alt-s with ICQ. And you can create a chatroom and talk in it. I hate icq now. it is so dated. It used to be the one but got left behind. IMHO

That's what MSN Instant Messenger does, and u can send files back and forth, as well as other features

THe newest versions of AIM do that as well.

Direct connect is neat.. just make sure you trust your buddy!
