If you download mirc, study it and how to use it, hook to the dalnet
server and pick a room like #australia - #40+friends #30-60friends -
#California - #Sweden - etc - etc -etc...

... you will get lost for hours chatting, you can instantly send and
receive pictures and documents with other room members, the chat happens
in real time--you can go voice-to-net with another free application and
chat to the other countries for free in speech... after you have seen and
experienced all this--tell me amateur radio doesn't have to "GET REAL!" I
doubt if these old buggers here could even get Mirc installed on their
machines, learn to use it and find out what they are missing--these old
boy are just too plum SLOW!!!

Not interested in internet chat. Tried it and it's dull. Too much
infrastructure and not enough independence to make it a fun hobby.

Well, at least you prove my point, the world moves on--some stay... but
as it has always been-it will wait for no man or woman... new mindsets
will now have to move us up-to-date, which has been my argument all
along... it will be a pleasure to see this happen in my lifetime...
