Safe to assume that most people on the list can surf the web.
They all can * messenge * to a single person, but can't * chat * as a group, only windows version of Yahoo lets you chat, others only message to a single person.
Maybe next time assume people are not trying to mislead, and give them a chance that they might know as much as you do.
Also, if I was wrong.... possible!, you can be a bit nicer at least on the list (Ex: "there is an alternative to consider ... " )
And if for some reason your not one of the 99.99% of people out there that use one of these operating systems then maybe you can just use the web version (java applet). Yahoo IM kicks ass. Free, has voice and web cam and it has voice conferencing which kicks ass for gaming. Best of all, works well across most networks (MSN IM often has problems unles you specifically open it up).
Is it possible that you are confusing MS IM with IRC? No one was talking about using MS IM. We tried to use Yahoo first and it did not work.
