We used to get together on the Realm a few years ago, and have quite fabulous times in a pre-arranged chat there.
It's kind of hard finding a time that suits everyone, but if people wish to, we could have a go on IM, or Yahoo chat, or whatever the hell people wish to, and try to get a time.
Sunday mornings Oz time seemed to suit a lot of us, since it was Saturday afternoon US time.
Any takers????
@dlowan,
I've wandered over from that other thread to see what's happening!
@dlowan,
Sure. You've both got my yahoo email, right? I'd add you to my friends list in a heartbeat.
@roger,
I don't think I got anybody's chat email no more.
And I have IM....I think....
We'd need to find somewhere to put such things, and agree on a medium and place.
@Roberta,
It stands for 'Instant Messaging' basically you just write real time. around the turn of the millenium we called it IRC (Internet Relay Chat). You guys should check out meebo

I'd love to join you when I can, Deb, but alas ... I'm way too slow a typist & couldn't keep up with you Speedy Gonzales types.
... as you'd well know, from past experience.
@msolga,
ne'mind msolga you can chat to me. I'm a waaaaayyyy slow typist as well.
The only thing that bothers me is how I get peoples chat emails without PM's. If they are posted here who knows what lurkers will show up.
@msolga,
I type fast but I've got nothing interesting to say....
What was Ravens Realm?
@dadpad,
Yes....we'd need a safe way of doing that.
One way would be for me to put Borat Sister's email up in her profile for a little while.
@hingehead,
Actually, what I have is now called Windows Live Messenger.
There's a bunch of them....hmmm..I wonder if Trillian still exists..it used to talk to all of them.
@dlowan,
Well, I cared, Deb ... about the fact that you, margo & I were having a very out of sync conversation because of my slowness. As I recall, every now & then one of you would politely enquire if I was still there!
But dadpad sounds about my speed! We could feel silly together!
@sozobe,
Great!
I'm downloading Meebo and Trillian and having a look at them.
Everyone whjo is interested needs to tag this thread.......I suspect it'll get the thumbs down because of limited interest soon.

Oh my! Silly's gonna be SOOOOOOO lucky!
@msolga,
Slow and steady wins the race Ms Olga.
@dlowan,
I'm sure Trillian still around. Meebo is cool because it's web based and it can handle all your chat accounts at the same time.

For sure. First, which messenger to use, then we find a way to swap details.
