I joined ICQ and my number is: 368682990.
There was an option to bypass the download and just sign up (and then when I choose to log in again, I just do the same thing...so I did).
I have had way too many set-backs with my computer this year and worse, since this course started, so thought this was a better option...have posted a question to the board to ask Cynthia and Peter if this is ok. If I don't hear back (dubious place to pose a personal question, so they may legitimately miss it - and plus, I'm not sure I asked the question properly) I'll send a private message.
Will be joining a group of NET11 students on Sunday Jan 4th for a group chat.
Off to the hospital now - my sister had her second child, a baby girl, this morning - so we're going to visit them!
