I'm running Win2K, so not sure if/how that all applies. I do know that I connected to Diane's chat last night with no problems, and made it all the way to the end without incident, so that was cool. Once I connect, if I stay there, everything works fine. It's just when I try to leave or go to another link from that window that I have problems. But as long as I can hook up and stay hooked up and have no troubles with it, I can deal. Bikerdude made me laugh in the chat room (more than once) last night. I was saying that I was still using dialup and he said "Man, you know how much hair stuff you can get in a day with DSL?" Guess I'll be calling my cable company tomorrow.
