Hi Estrella,

I think this is like a chat line for the internet.  You can instantly
converse with whoever happens to be on the internet.  I have something like
it on my AOL e-mail.  It's called the buddy system.  You input people's
e-mails on your list.  Whenever they are on AOL, you get instant
notification that they logged on, then you can send them instant messages
on this system.  I used it and hated it.  I ended up having to take time
having typewritten communication when my intention was only to check my
e-mail.  I was too polite to ignore the notice that they know I was on
line.  I ended up checking my e-mails very late at night to avoid
conversations.  Eventually, I told everybody I prefer using my other
account.  That's why I was not jumping for joy at Eldon's notice.  I prefer
the regular e-mail where I can answer when I have the time.
