My freind clued me in on this. I still don't know how to use everything, but when he comes on we can chat while working on other stuff at the same time. Cool for people who only have one phone line. You can "call" them on their 'puter if their line is busy due to them being on line!

I have it, I met my girlfriend on it and she moved here from Ohio. I have had it for two years.

 

ICQ is the neatest thing since sliced bread. Go to www.icq.com and download. Chat, send files, voice messages, etc while doing other things...saves on the phone bill! Doesn't work well with AOL though (yet), but you can't do without it.

 

ICQ looks pretty cool, but please give your local computer guy at work a break and not use it at work -- man it's so buggy compared to normal business software that it's not worth it in a workplace. The handful of people we've had try to use it here at work can't explain why ICQ is better than a 2 minute e-mail for business communication. It's gotta be a coolness or usability thing...

 

My wife's girlfriend told her about ICQ and she insisted I install it on the home PC that's connected to the internet (Cable Modem). I had intermittant crashes after I installed it - usually when I was doing something else and ICQ was just sitting there.
My wife didn't use it that much so I removed it from my PC. No crashes since! I use Windows 95.

 

I use ICQ all teh time, my browser opens to it.
Chat with my kid's back east, plus others -
great stuff 99a is the one to dwnlod.

Never a prob for me, also use MS Chat

roadrunner, have you tried Netmeeting? Comes with IE. Works great. I talk, full duplex, with my friends. Works best with broadband connections, but does okay with dialup modem speeds. All you need is a soundcard and a microphone.

 

I've had it for several years - works pretty well - I keep in touch with lots of special friends.

I always have the volume turned down so I usually don't hear the "uh-oh", in cse you want to message me.

 

I used to get a lot of "**** site invitations" from ICQ until I checked the box that said "requires authorization." But now I found it actually prevents people that I wouldn't mind from contacting me unless they fill out a request form stating the reason why I should authorize them. Dumb huh? Well if any one here wants to add me to their list, just put your "handle" and F150 after it and I will then authorize. Hey I'm no prude, but if I want to see ****, I'm sure I can find it all by myself.
