That is OK if one chats to another Unix user.  Now if the other user
happens to be a Windows user, what then ? And some of the ICQ users I know
have trouble with Windows CE, let alone 98/NT.   And I am not talking of
computer literate windows users, but consumers - who just use the things.
(sigh - the good old days when conversations were sent via the consoles to
the Cyber 76 yonks ago).

And sometimes I have to use a 2400 bps sat connection, so the unix talk is
useful but I digress.

Junk email - zounds another source I had not thought of.  mind you I don't
get that much, and I use a special program (windows) that allows one to
quickly download the headers and kill the junk.

Thanks for the advice !
