The Lone Star Chat!

Yeah that is a problem with MSN Chat. As referenced in the last page or so there have been some talk of setting up a IRC version which is quite cross-platform friendly.
Though IMO MSN should also make at least a OS9/10 compatible version of the chat software, but they haven't. While I'm dreaming they could make a Unix/Linus version, and oh a Atari ST version as well.

Come one, come all! We are chatting to a pleasant new arrival, insulting Liam and generally carrying on about Hooters waitresses, Monty Python and stuff.
It's fun!
Come in!

Hey...It's 8:30 on Tuesday, and there are 54 (!!) people hanging out on the CotI boards...Why does the Lonestar only open on Sunday??? Brubeks is open everyday... Is it because of how MSN Chat is set up?

It opens anytime anyone clicks on the link, we just say every sunday so people know when they are most likely to catch a load of peole there. But really, anytime you want to open it just do so!

Let me further add a vote for an IRC version of the chat. Why? IRC is a far more open standard, far more available (in some senses...), and there are a plethora of IRC clients out there to choose from.
And it avoids Micro$haft......
(And hey.... this is the tech that GRIP is built on, so it must be good!)

Casey </font>[/QUOTE]There is open source software that can access MSN on Linux - Everybuddy is one such package. I, personally, would still like to see an IRC version, though.
Just a thought.

Right now I'm sitting in the Lone Star all by my lonesome. (HA! A Pun!) However, since my broadband connection has been sporadically knocking me off line for indeterminate lengths of time, I'm in an out.

I decided that I couldn't hang around because:
A) Everyone else on COTI seems to be elsewhere today or has no interest in chatting.
B) The constant stream of bots and pervs looking for cybersex is annoying me.
