If you haven’t already set up this the ‘ultimate communication tool’ I thought I may just bring it to your attention. I and a few of my colleagues here on UKW use this method of direct communication that puts phone calls and emails back into the dark ages of last century 🙂
Having set yourself up on the ‘system’ you can then have direct one to one contact with those you ‘invite’ into your domain. Direct worldwide phone voice contact, live video and text all done in real time, in an instant! Not just a chat line, exchanging pictures and video images for fun but a serious business tool with major applicational potential.
For example, whenever my PC is on-line (in my case 24/7) I know if one of my friends or business associates in on-line because MSN tells me instantly. For the most part I personally use the keyboard and send text, I then can send and receive any amount of data and files should I so desire. (Very very handy for receiving PDF files and MS Word Documents I can testify to that 😉 )
With the onset of broadband sweeping the nation and the world, all this is available now and the best bit is its FREE 😀

Re: MSN Messenger
Yes, I use it a lot, though only for social use. I sometimes chat for hours to a mate in NZ. If we did the same by phone it would cost a fortune. Used with a digital camera it is very handy for explaining things by photo. I’m helping a young lady rebuild her classic motorbike and she often sends me photos of different bits, asking “what does this bit do?” or “where does this fit on?”.

Re: MSN Messenger
I used to use Yahoo messenger about 3 years ago. I guess I got adicted to it, made lots of women friends online, stayed up till gone 2 in the mornings. Stayed talking on it all moring and into afternoons when I should have been doing repairs. Often ignored me phone when customers rang as I was in a world of me own and didn’t want to come back to reality. Drank copious amounts of Barcardi & Coke, talked to 6 or 7 women all at once… It was great, nearly ruined me marriage and lost lots of business though. Be careful guys!

Re: MSN Messenger
It looks like I’ve lost MSN Messenger. 🙁 Today it would not sign me in and insisted that I download the latest version of the software. I only have a dial-up connection as Broadband is not available in my area. The download must take more than 2 hours as it was not complete when I got kicked off. I have a download manager programme so I can try that but it does not always work with stuff like MSN.
Re: MSN Messenger
Phidom, PM me your address and I’ll download/burn to a CD for you and send it by post, it’ll be faster 😆
Seriously though, I can if you want 😀

Re: MSN Messenger
I deleted it, but it does download. I used Firefox though to get it and not MS Explorer as Firefox has a built-in download manager, very handy. 😉

Re: MSN Messenger
Indeed, and as Microsoft hate anyone that uses anything other than IE as a browser you get redirected from the normal update site, it nicely downloads as a seperate package and not the silly auto install nonsense 😀

Re: MSN Messenger
🙂 I found a way to do a manual download, enabling the download manager to be used. This time it only took about 40minutes so perhaps the MSN site was just very busy the first time I tried.
Re: MSN Messenger
It is possible to get MSN Messenger on mobile phones/PDAs so the office can be in direct contact with engineers on the road without phoning. It would make it a useful business tool.
