Module 2 - Chat

I finally succeeded last night to get on to an ICQ chat (thanks Tess and Ausi1). Up until last night I have been struggling to get on to ICQ to connect with the NET 11 SP4 group. There was obviously a problem with my computer as I was being invited into the chat by other students but I was not seeing the file allowing me to accept the invitation. Finally, however, it worked last night and it was great to chat to other students about how they are going with the course.

As I am a novice to chat sites, it was interesting to see how fast the chat moves with everyone typing in their comments as quickly as one is posted. My only experience with chats has been observing my daughter chatting on Facebook. As I had such difficulty in getting on to the chat site, I had an opportunity in the previous week to look over the ICQ program and familiarise myself with the site. I think the ICQ site was easy to work around, once I was able to get on.

I enjoyed the chat experience and think it would be great fun to be involved in a chat group and can understand how people can get quite involved in various chat sites.
