Hi everyone, I have discovered(with the help of friends) that even people on aol can get the instant messenger and the upgrade which enables them to talk in chat rooms with non aol members. This is fantastic!! I want to encourage all of you to get the instant messenger then the up grade so we can have discussions and lessons online instantly. It took 1.81 MB for the instant messenger and 1.41 MB for the upgrade. You can download at: <A HREF="http://www.aol.com/aim/">AOL Instant Messenger</A> After getting instant messenger you watch the little ad box on buddy list and click on upgrade. It is Beta.I think it is even better than the chat rooms on aol. You get private room instantly. I will be setting up a room called GenRooters and will be posting a schedule of times I will be there for open discussion, question and answer type format. It will be expanded if there is enough interest to include lessons, and other topics by adding other rooms if necessary. If you have instant messenger and upgrade please send me your screen name for it and I will put you on my buddy list so we can chat. What do you all think? Would you like live chat for question and answers or discussing topics of your choice?? I will be in the room mentioned at 3pm est and 6:30 pm tonight (Wed) I will also be there at 3pm est and 7pm est on Thursday. Just put in the chat box the room name GenRooters and it will take you there. This could really be a great opportunity to help research if you take advantage of it. Dianne
