I've been using ICQ for quite a while now (With a number like 123453, you'd better believe it 8-) ). I use it to stay in touch with my friends, just an enhancement to e-mail. I live in North Carolina, made friends with someone living in Philly over 3 years ago through a mutual project. I was Best Man at his wedding last year (First time we met in person) and we're still going strong. Danny, it has it's uses. -- Walter Brameld Join the Army. Meet interesting people. Kill them.
