Hi John, looked on your Blog but you don't have this subject on there as
yet, that is, unless its not registering on my Blog.
Anyway, i used to instant message with some of the friends when i had
windows os. I had the msn and yahoo instant message set up but since i have
switched to linux/ubuntu os, i have not registered with pidgin, and although
i have IM set up with Google, no one on my friend list is ever showing they
are online. Could be my fault because i have mine set on invisible too. (-;

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
