About that IM thing
I know I said that I was probably going to activate my IM program this evening, but it's not going to happen and it's all Bill Gates's fault.
It's been awhile since I used MSN Messenger and when I fired it up a few minutes ago, I got a message to the effect that there was an newer version and I would have to upgrade in order to continue. Resigned to my fate, I clicked the "proceed" button (that should have been labeled "abandon all hope, ye who click here") and the installer was downloaded. I started walking through the installation process and found that I would have to create a new .net or Passport account or something that would allow Microsoft to clone my DNA and inject it into the savage experiments being carried out by Medical Clowns on the payroll of some foundation and I figured it wasn't worth it just so I'd have yet another means of communication that I couldn't keep up with.
So, if any of you were actually planning to IM me tonight, I apologize. Maybe you could just email me and I could, like, try to answer really quickly or something.
Ditto. Gmail chat is the way to go. And if you don't want Rach's gmail invite, I have a ton too :)

Anyway, I'm having trouble keeping up with the comments, much less adding IM conversations to the mix.

Avoid the borg that is MS.

Actually, I don't like IMing anyway. My attention span is too easily distracted.

You could always do a gmail chat if you still have your gmail account or make up one. I've got free invites if you want to go that way...Beth and I are talking through gmail chat.
