Finding out who's online with us can be difficult. How about we all download and install the ICQ internet software, and then publish our ICQ numbers here?

I need lots of help getting started. Email me at kristen@spring.net and let me know how to build a conference list and how to get around here. Send the welcome wagon my way, please!!! I'm the redhead in Terry's video with the tatoo. Is it being discussed somewhere here?

welcome again, Kristen. I think we should open a topic in Porch specifically for new types. I'll do it right after this.
In fact, right now. I'll try ICQ-ing you tonight, Kristen, cos I've never used it before!

How does one ICQ another person? Does one have to be on the Pill to do that
without getting into trouble?

Nope, Sonja won't come. I even promised her to send her picture to Mike to
put into Babes (she is by FAR the better looking), but she won't. Thinks her English isn't good enough. Silly bugger. I told her that bad English never stopped the Boers from attacking the English, but no, she's too decent. That makes me the evil twin, I suppose.
No, actually she simply works too much to be able to sit on the computer like I do - she's a medical transcriptor/CAT scan operator, and constantly on call. She says she might log in when she goes home in October for holiday - think my brother has internet now.

Are you any relation to the Waltons in Arkansas? The ones that started
up a little chain of stores?

I don't know! It is my husband's name that I've taken for practical reasons - hope that doesn't make me submissive. My unmarried name was Steyn. But I'll ask him! Wish WE owned a little chain of stores . . .

Yep, the Waltons have a little mom and pop store called WalMart. Ever
heard of it?
They're the third richest family in the world, bhind Bill Gates and some
sheik or something. Maybe the fourth.

As the Afrikaners would say: FOK dit!!!
'Cos I asked him, but nope, his family roots all lie in a town called Billingham in northern England where everyone worked in mines, and the girls bore and average of 11 children each, and he is one of only two members of that family who turned out intelligent enough to go to university (but may I brag by saying my husband's an Oxbridge man?). His intelligent cousin, Alan Walton became a writer of erotic works and translated works such as 'The perfumed garden' into English.
And that's why we're not the third or fourth richest buggers in the world.

Well, all our workstations at Spring Austin are set up with NetMeeting and most with video. At least 3 or 4 are set up this way. The one in the kitchen is the most used.

The trick to finding us on NetMeeting is to log in to the server:
ils.business.four11.com
as a business user. Then sort the listings by city and look for Austin, TX.
That will most likely show all our NetMeeting sessions.
