Ken:

I agree that the list is the best place to converse for 
CoCo related topics, I just threw the idea of using IM's 
out there mainly for social chat's between members, 
possibly for use at the Fest, or if there is a problem 
with the list.  I guess I sort of like the idea of chat 
rooms because they remind me of the chat rooms on 
Compuserver back in the 300bd days.  

James stated he would list his AIM name in his sig, and 
maybe that's the best way to pursue this.  Those who are 
open to using IM can list their unsername or number in 
their sig, and those interested can contact them.

I too was a little leary of using IM, but after about two 
years of use, I am "OK" with them, though I do wonder 
about security at times.  That's why I lock down 
everything.
