not really, using an older keyboard cuz we needed one more change in life. yeah katies at UNH now, shell be back next saturday though. recieved an im from her today. yup yup, used google talk with yura. him and i are trying to convert people to it, so were inviting people to gmail and subsequently to google talk, g'talk for the rest of us. I stand by my previous statement from wednesday i think it was. it is a very stable and fun voip service, and in yuras words: "AIM IS CRAP"
i dont completely agree however. its easier to send photos and files with aim but googles talk has the symbolic clean white aesthetic quality. lol which was popularized by their search engines page. its something that yahoo and msn dont have, they have eye sores on their pages. with ads, news, and tons of crap it forces the user to beg the question where the !@#$ is the search bar?! but thats besides my point. google talk also has a very nice ringtone for when the user is being called. its very..soothing. all in all it is a nice service. not yet ready to compete with yahoo and aol however, (u need an invite only google mail account), but it has the potential to challenge aol and yahoo for their loyal users desktops.
