Module 2 Tasks: ICQ

See comments on 1st post for today about my history with chat tools: I also have used and still use MSN, Yahoo, Skype ( Chat and VOIP).I even lost a BF to ICQ - he met someone on-line.
I cannot d/l any new s/w on this PC, so will need to finish this on my PC later.

I'm back 23.5.07

ICQ 6 update installed.

ICQ# 463102268

Added 24 ICQ's that I could locate in Net11 threads.And left message on discussion board to same.

Passed the self-test,although the ICQ # was out of date, but the self-test didn't know that, but these things happen.

From research of students ICQ profiles, some students are obviously high-end users of ICQ utilising all the features and 'bells and whistles' offered by the facility. Others are either quite low-end users or keep private information to the bare minimum in the public domain. Wise choice indeed. My fave part of ICQ is being able to have a status facility so you know where people are or are not, saves sitting about waiting for responses.

I used to use ICQ quite a bit until I started working in offices that either restricted access to ICQ or used other instant chat, like Skype or MSN or Talisma.
