(right click, exit and it is dead.) Stewart At 09:57 PM 11/21/2008, you wrote: >Anyway to set Yahoo Messenger Service so you can easily have it >running just when we want it?

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The new gmail webcam chat is nice. But I don't think it does "video conferencing". i.e., multiple cams open at once. But I've never tried it. In fact, I've only tried it once with a friend and the audio had a serious (killer) lag. Biggest problem: It won't connect to people on other services. I don't think anyone should recommend a video conferencing app that can't. Even if that does narrow the field down to just about ZERO. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************* ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
