I have an AIM handle, but I don’t actually have AIM, since I keep getting these stupid error messages (“anonymous login rejected” or “server returned complex message”) every time I try to get it. I’ve tried both [AOL.com](http://AOL.com) and [download.com](http://download.com) with the same result. Where are you all getting it? I have IE 5.5 and GoZilla for downloading, but it won’t work ☹ My handle, if I ever get this thing downloaded, is Enidkitty. Catrandom ---

Mine’s “I Hamadryad”…not intentionally an Asimov reference, but I’m also not complaining. I never message anyone first, so if you want to talk you me you’ll have to initiate. (and yes, I know people are just BEATING DOWN MY DOOR begging to talk to me…snort.) ---
