[dba-Tech] IM's

Yeah, we use MSN at work in the IT dept, and I still have a load of
mates who use them. We also play MUDs though, so we're not your "normal"
internet users :-)

MSN is my main one, I only have Yahoo for one friend, AIM for three, and
ICQ because it was the first one I had. Don't think I've seen anyone on
there for ages though, although it's not a problem when you only have
one program to manage the connections. They all signin together, and the
windows are the same.

Do you really use these connections though? Years ago, I had them, but
after 
the novelty wore off, I never used them.
