The Reason for the Poll

The reason I put up the IM poll was to see if we could easily decide on a common IM client, assuming people want to use one. I use Skype in my work, but I am willing to use another IM client if necessary. Just as a side note, an IM client is a chat program that lets you chat online with other family members. You can see when someone is online and send them a brief message. It's very convenient if you have a short question. A phone call or email is better for a longer conversation. Are you interested and which client would you like to use?
(Brian, Deric, and I used to use Yahoo! Messenger, which worked well.)

I've never done it at all, so I would go with whatever everyone wanted.

I have used Yahoo in the past, but I dislike messenging, and I stopped using it. I felt like it distracted me too much, so don't count on me for messaging.

I haven't done it either, although my kids do instant messaging. Once you decide what to do, let us know how to sign up.

I am engulfed in a sea of work right now, so I don't have time to look into the merits of each system. I promise to do it next week.

I have always used Yahoo for what's its worth. Lawrence does too.
