Ok, I'm too lazy to figure this out on my own, I admit.
I've never used IM in any form, but now DW insists that I have to. So, some questions:
How do I set it up? Is this something I get from my ISP, or off some web site?
I'm aware of AOL IM, & have the impression that they're the most implemented, but do you have to subscribe to AOL internet service itself to use it, or is this a standalone web app?
What other IM apps are there, & how do they stack up?
Is one IM compatable with another - can I chat with someone if I'm using XYZ IM & they're using AOL?
Features? What do you like/dislike?
I could ask a kid for help, but don't have one laying around. Figure you guys are the next best thing...
