Yes, but e-mail has the disadvantage of the recipient not seeing the e-mail straight away, whereas Skype chat, MSN, etc, the person at the other end will see your messages instantly, hence the name instant messaging. Hope that helps.

Thanks Chris, I guess email and Skype do these things just as well? - Andy Andy----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 11:05 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: MSN| Andy, there's a lot to ask here. First and foremost, what do you want outof | such programme, basic text and voice chat, or more? Second, do you even have| a Windows Live account? You *must* have one set up in order to use Windows| Live Messenger or Windows Messenger, depending on which one you want to use. | Once that's all established, it's just a case of downloading and installing | the appropriate messenger client, starting it, signing in with your details, | then ask around for your friend's address. Hope that helps for now, feel | free to ask on or off list if you have any further queries. | Chris Hallsworth | BrailleNote mPower User | Website: www.chrishallsworth.co.nr| ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>| To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 8:29 PM | Subject: [access-uk] MSN | | | > Hi all - | > | > A friend wants to talk to me using MSN.
