Sorry, but I think Yahoo in general sucks... I know I'll be labeled a heretic, but, jeeze, I still cannot get the chat window to open so that I can see it fully so I can type in stuff, but I'm not able to read/proof it, or read anybody's replies...
It's not my computer (11-month old iMac, ruby red if you wanna know, the color's been discontinued, eat yerr heart out!).
It's not that I didn't download the IM software (I did, twice, and still no chat window visible).
It's not even that I'm computer illiterate (my last job was very computer intensive, I pretty much can fight myself out of any box, and even write a little code).So... vas gibt?
Any suggestions appreciated...
Wendy
