Hi, My sighted son used to do it for hours. Of course, he was also into the chat room thing for a while. This was a number of years ago. I could just see connecting wirelessly and chatting until the bn went flat<grin>.

I also use it regularly at home on my PC, as a quick means of communicating with people. I don't instant message while I'm on the phone or anything like that. For instance, when I am writing, sometimes, I ask a friend of mine who is also a writer, for her ideas on certain things. It's a quick back and forth. I also have friends who hate talking on the phone, so messaging is a nice way to have instant communication with them. It's no longer just a program for kids. I'm ... well, somewhere between 40 and 50, and I use it everyday to some extent. I was very happy to read Jonathan's message down thread that instant messaging will be part of a future release.

MSN Messenger is a program that can be used for many purposes, which some of them include these: professional environment, educational environment, leisure, and much more. So, even though one fish out of the pond may not want it--others may.
