now we can bother each other in "real time"

[phataku]

Well, I have AIM now. You can IM me as "Phataku". I should have done this a while ago, but I had been using ICQ. I was trying to find a way to keep in touch with everyone without running 48421864123 IM programs simultaneously. In my quest, I stumbled upon a freeware IM program called GAIM (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/). It's like AIM without all the spyware. Plus, it handles all the popular IM programs simultaneously, and a hand-full of the obscure ones.

Keep in touch.

btw, I typed this message with one hand while using the other one to eat chicken.
