If he is a friend, then he will not mind installing Gaim or Psi for Windows so he can talk to his MSN using friends while also communicating to you through a 'free' messaging protocol like jabber. He will also be able to have friends who use Yahoo and open up a whole new circle of friendship. There are numerous Linux clients which support MSN,Jabber, and Yahoo. Examples are Gaim, Kopete, and Psi. Gaim is the most popular, but personally I prefer Psi. Alternatively if he is narrow minded, and cannot tolerate change, then you could always communicate to him through MSN. -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
