Instant Messenger

Stay in touch live!

This is a great idea! Imagine, every time you log onto the internet, you can automatically "chat" by typing with any Cansino family member live. By installing AOL Instant Messenger you can set up a "buddy list" with the screen names of all of the Cansinos. Whenever you are on the net, you can "chat" with another Cansino who is on the net!

AOL Instant Messenger is a great program that is available to ALL people on the net, even non-AOLers like myself. It has a great advantage in that you can send a message to someone, like an e-mail but they receive it instantly, without having to check e-mail!

All you need to do is download the software, install the program onto your hard drive, sign up (free of charge) to get a screen name that is unique to YOU, and next time you are online (i.e. logged onto the internet, start the AOL IM program and you can talk to others!

You will need to setup a "buddy list" with everyone's AOL IM screen names. The program will tell you how many "buddies" are logged on to the net while you are on, pretty cool stuff!
