Cate in NZ Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I know that some of you MSN. Can you please tell me, is it really easy to use (for a technophobe ). Daughter has created me an account, and also one for Jeff so that we can "chat", but she did it all so quickly that it was a blur. About the only thing I learned is that they don't like it if someone "nudges" you on MSN............I decided I quite liked that feature, next time they don't respond to my calls of "Dinner's on the table" I'll log on and "nudge" them instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 It's really easy to use I use skype (pretty similar) to talk to my parents and my mum can manage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Its easy Kate & it will be a fab way for you to keep in touch. Just keep it clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I agree, it's very easy... I've used MSN, skype and yahoo messenger all to communicate with far away friends, and they are all reasonably similar, and quite easy to use... you can get a webcam too, and see each other, which is brilliant, and also very easy.

gooner.girl Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Its very easy to use Kate - will be a great way of keeping in touch with Jeff. Hope he is settling well over there? We missed you today - hope you're ok. Was a huge rescue and i am exausted - nearly fell asleep driving home. I have to say though - your cheesecake is the best i have ever tasted - so yummy! And Jo missed it! Please don't go to NZ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 MSN is very good for keeping in touch. Get a webcam running too and you could see each other. When I went on QM2 last year I set up an account for JAMES! Mum would logon for him and we could wave whilst she typed for him - my laptop has a built in webcam. All of the waiters in my favourite wifi hotspot (yes it WAS a bar!) liked to wave hello to him too - one of them gave me a lovely QM2 pen to take home for the cute little boy (many of them miss their families). It helped us a lot - I wanted to do the trip, it wasn't suitable for him (the boat was but the flight out to NYC and the 2 days of constant shopping weren't). I needed a bit of time by myself - it was the first time I'd been alone since throwing his father out a year before. But I did miss him and he missed me so knowing we could "see" each other every day was great. Especially as we couldn't phone - on the transatlantic run your mobiles don't work.

Cate in NZ Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Then they'll block you! They wouldn't dare I'm glad it went well yesterday Helen, I did think of you all. I've had a viral thing that I thought I'd shaken off, but I think with the general stress of the last few days it took advantage and came back with a vengeance. Anyway I didn't feel well enough to be of any real use . I fully intend to be at the next one though.........assuming I'm feeling brave enough to face Jo after providing cheesecake for the one rescue she had to miss . I may need to go into hiding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Oh don't get me started on Facebook. I just had a message from someone I havn't seen in the best part of 25 years! We were once the best of friends and our parents were friends too. I saw his parents at my Dad's funeral but he was really a blast from the past - its amazing.

One Man Banned Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 It's weird isn't it - I've been on there today and my best friend at college has cropped up - haven't seen him for about 7 years It's nice to keep in touch as mobile numbers get changed, lost etc A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
