ICQ

[John Ross]

Hi Ken,
It was my brother that introduced me to icq.
I have a list of relatives from all over. They must give their permission, and I
must request it, in order for the names to be indicated on a control type panel.

This unit tells when they are on line, so you can access them in real time. It
also has a chat
facility and I have at times been 'talking' to a brother in Texas and a brother
in Ontario at the same time, all of us having our own screen and being able to
see all screens.
Being from Scotland the price is right it is for free so far. There is a voice
chat associated with as well.
I just got a chat request from a piano tech in South Africa as I was writing
this, he saw I was on line. We had a nice little chat. Actually the fellow on
the end of this message.
The beauty of the system is you only correspond by mutual agreement. Either
person can initiate or not.
Their web site has more info. Someone already posted the address.
Regards,
John M Ross
