First let me explain, we cannot get WebTV's Messenger YET! It will be available for everyone in an upgrade due out in the first half of this year. You CANNOT get this upgrade before then. If you get an email or forward with option codes to get an upgrade, DON'T DO IT.. these are hacker codes and can harm your WebTV unit, or wipe out your account entirely! OK, so we all understand that you CANNOT get the IM yet... right? OK, good.. now...
Next, I have seen what the new IM will look like, where it will be etc, and what features it will have. We will NOT be able to IM with AOL users, it is incompatible! We WILL be able to IM with those on MSN's IM though. (Usually through Hotmail.com for pc users) We cannot get MSN's IM, so don't even try. It requires downloading of software, which we are unable to do! OK?
Lastly, if you want to see the article in Net4TV's News, click on the URL on this post to read about it. The article is new news, not old news, and was written 3/12/00. Read it and pass it on to your WebTV friends. That way they know what's up also!
Take care,
Christie
