paulynichols says:ive been using MSN since i was about 11. so thats 11 years. haha i remember the good old days when Windows based Messenger was in.

Ash says:as was involved in the initial trials with Telstra

Ash says:cheez u must be wiz @ it

paulynichols says:i can remember all the changes in versions, and can remember when ever there was an update kids at school would talk about the new features available.

Ash says:do u still use it freq

Ash says:or daily

paulynichols says:has msn ever helped you communicate with people it was hard to?

paulynichols says:because of distance?

Ash says:yes it has

paulynichols says:oh yeah. i use it daily. i moved 3hours from where i used to live.

Ash says:I have penpals overseas that I used to write to

Ash says:now I use chat or email insteadpaulynichols says:and its also helped me a lot with uni. we have had group discussions with msn.

paulynichols says:yeah? so it has helped you keep in touch? thats awesome!

paulynichols says:it has helped me stay in touch with mates from the city

Ash says:so what do u not like abt it

paulynichols says:the amount of advertising that hovers around the program

Ash says:agree

paulynichols says:i also get frustrated when some of the features - that are supposed to benefit the program - they dont work, such as the games and the webcam not connecting etc

Ash says:understandable

paulynichols says:but overall its a positive experience. i get to see mates in america on cam.Ash says:do u feel comfortable using the web cam with total strangers

paulynichols says:i dont use with strangers. i only use the webcam with people i know. friends who have moved overseas etc

paulynichols says:and i only have people added on msn that i know

Ash says:02 sec brb

paulynichols says:ok

Ash says:yep i do that also

paulynichols says:what dont you like about it?

paulynichols says:and what, apart from the eaze of conversation, do you like about it? or why do you prefer over other chat programs?

Ash says:I just sometimes find it difficult to tell someone that I am bsy

paulynichols says:yes. i feel that as well

Ash says:n the advertsAsh says:i love this medium of communicating

Ash says:but feel that this must not be the only means

paulynichols says:i also dislike how hard it can be to express emotions. however that is a problem with all non-voice communication

Ash says:as one may never really know the other person

paulynichols says:yespaulynichols says:i agree

Ash says:paul, u r pretty mature for a young person

paulynichols says:thankyou very much.

paulynichols says:ive actually just purchased my first home
