I joined the Linux chat room at Yahoo and the users there gave me a tip on chatting in rooms on Linux. They suggested I use Gaim. I tried it out and got it to work. I then chated with an old guiatrist friend and tried to instruct him in installing a second hard drive in his computer. He was too distracted with construction going on in his apartment to pay attention. I shut down all my computers at about 2 PM and went to sleep and then woke up at midnight.
