well folks, it really works! You need one of the newer browsers....I really prefer Netscape over IE Explorer, but what ever you want....You can now get Netscape 4.01 as a standalone..free (If you use it at home privately) this means 'without' the mail & news programs and other gadgets....since I use Eudora Email & 'Agent' newsreader, this was perfect for me...(I only got it a few days ago, and it is GREAT!).

For those who are scared to death about 'downloading' and setting up new programs & such, it can be really easy with a few hints...I will be glad to correspond with anyone who needs help and offer suggestions.Max has a lot of neat features planned, but you really need to learn a couple of things to make 'em work....It really is not too hard...2 years ago, I knew NOTHING about this stuff...now if Max could only help me tune my autoharp.......

Max, it was nice talking to you in the chat room. Two recommendations: 1) a window showing the names of those participating in the chat at any given time and 2) an exit button. The rest of the chat window, speed, etc. all worked very well for me.

Congrats to you and your staff.

At the risk of sounding dense, which browsers have JAVA capabilities? Netscape 2? Netscape 3? Explorer X?

Hi Guys and Gals. Yet another feature, but I am not sure how this will go over. It probably won't go over well, cause it's hich tech and all. It requires a Java capable browser. Currently there is only the main room, and if interest is shown, we have a whole set of improvements and gizmos. Please remember that this is really a prototype. It may have errors and such. If you discover a bug let us know. Play, play, play.
