 Thanks. A one time friend and I used to have a lot of fun in ICQ chat
 making up new meanings for standard acroynms. :) ((ICQ chat was
special. I  don't use it anymore. But before it started going downhill
it was good! The chat wasn't your usual IRC style or instant messages
tyle. You had two windows (or rather one window per person) which you
could arrange side by side or up and down. You could read the other
person's typing as they typed. I wonder why this methid isn't
more popular. Perhaps due to connection problems. And as ICQ started
"improving" itself, you had to have the same version as the person you
wanted to chat with for the thing to work. ugh!
