It is doing wonders for my post count. But it might be the possibly most inane use of this board ever. I take that back, everything is possible here and I don’t want the proof. ---

Medea’s Child is laughing hysterically, Scotti. ---

So basically you are tonight’s female entertainment for a bunch of rowdy, biker, bad boys… ANY ivory tower? Do you by any chance have a trebuchet? Can I play with it? I haven’t chatted with anybody in a very long time… Be gentle. ---

No, these are pretty good boys. Adam is the closest to being a bad boy and he’s getting married to his darling gf in a year. My toys, you don’t get to play with them. Until you deserve it. I’m toying in yahoo right now… I think the best way to deal with this would be to get our own room. Once I’m logged in you can just search for MedeasChild and just “GOTO” me. I’ll make a room. Gentle enough for you? Okay… all set. ---

It’s loading the applet now… My connection is through one of these free services, so of course it’s slow… ---

Reason #714 to love school: Free T2 access. ---

Did I say slow? I meant glacial. This doesn’t look like it’s working. Probably doesn’t help that my home PC is still on IE 3. (Yes, 3. I use the internet access at work because it’s a T1; this home connection is just for occasional use.) I’ve got an empty chat window, doesn’t look like it’s connected. Maybe Geocities? ---

I’ll run over, I haven’t used them that I remember. My major chatting was ages ago. ---

Hmm… Looks like the Geocities chats ARE the Yahoo chats now. It has been a long time. The best I could get was a list of the rooms–no actual chat window. Let me try Fathom once… ---

Good, thats what I was finding. Where? (Is this amusing anyone else? I’m laughing a lot today.) ---

OK, I’m downloading an IRC client; maybe that will work. Perhaps we need to change this to the “My Computer Doesn’t Love Me” thread… ---

Only because Scotti took pity on me, lurker. mrblue, I have never used IRC. Talk the illiterate child through this one. ---

I had to make sure it actually worked first… OK, I went to: [http://www.newircusers.com/clients.html](http://www.newircusers.com/clients.html) Then I downloaded “mIRC for Windows 95/98/2000” and installed it. See if you can get that far. ---

I downloaded mIRC a few weeks ago, I would recommend it. You get 30 days free, and then it is relatively cheap. Make sure to choose an undernet server, and then look for the straight dope chat room. Click on mrblue’s name, and it will take you to a private chat room. Email me if I can help you. [scotticher@netzero.net](mailto:scotticher@netzero.net) ---

Found, recieved, unpacked, did something with an undernet server and a nickname… In general poking around things I don’t understand. I hope I don’t break anything. ---
