Ghatten> Ruth what is your UIN#
Ghatten> Yes ruth, when you register ICQ you get a UIN #
mamabear2> icq is a whole lot easyer to get into, than mirc,
Ghatten> My UIN# for the class is 11133324
gotcha - my number is #10867880
Ghatten> If you want to add me to your list of contacts for ICQ, you can use the UIN#/registration # to do that
Bev> If I install a newer version of ICQ, will it overwrite my contact list?
Blossom^> not the new one Bev
anna1> hey all, I've got a question
anna1> is anyone else going to do a separate registration just for class on ICQ aside from their personal?
Blossom^> I am anna1 and will give out the UIN# in just a few minutes......
Dowie> Is that the best thing to do?
Otter> yes anna -- I have a separate one too!
anna1> ok, I was thinking of doing that just to keep it separate
Blossom^> I think it is Dowie
Blossom^> I think it is a good idea to keep the lists separate for the class......will avoid some confusion that way.....
Dowie> Can see it would
Ghatten> 11133324---Ghatten2
Ghatten> Yes and I see you online but away ruth
Blossom^> Ready to get started?Ok......I would like to avoid Moderating if possible so let's try to keep the questions asked in reference to Lesson 1 ....if possible....
ruth-> So ghatten can I go now and change it
ruth-> so that I do now show that I am away
Granny-Wicked> blossom so you don't get confused there is still another class going on and the a- and z- is for that class to okay?
Blossom^> thanks Granny!
ruth-> GW - what class is also going on
Bev> I'm only in this class lol
ruth-> me too bev
Blossom^> ruth are you trying to change your online mode to "away"?
ruth-> well - I guess I can show that I am away and still get messages like Ghattens
Blossom^> yes ruth.........you can
Blossom^> Alden do you have a question?
Bev> I already asked it. The last time I reinstalled I lost all my contacts
Blossom^> ok......that happpened to me a few times too Bev but this last upgrade went really smooth and that didn't happen.....thank goodness
Katnyp> Sorry a bit of phone protocol problem
Bev> I'll try it but first, I'll copy everyone's #s.
Bev> Just to be sure.
Granny-Wicked> good idea bev!
kittycat1> Blossom--how would I go about setting up a separate list for class?
Blossom^> kittycat1......... click your ICQ button and choose Add/Change current user
Blossom^> then choose add another Registered user
Blossom^> then fill out the information as usual......it will give you a new UIN#
Bev> Does that negate your current #
Blossom^> no it doesn't Bev
z-Dowie> Do you choose a separate nick?
Bev> That's something new I learned LOL
Ghatten> No, you can add a second one with a similar name...but it does caution that it might confuse people
Blossom^> does that help kittycat?
Blossom^> that's right Ghatten it does.......thanks..... :)
Peanuts1> How can you tell what version of ICQ you have
Blossom^> I added a 2 to my nick for the second one Dowie
z-Dowie> That's what I was thinking...or something like it.
Blossom^> Peanuts1........click the ICQ button and choose Help
Blossom^> then choose About
Blossom^> berri........do you have a question?
Peanuts1> I have the1.111 one and I have Windows 3.1 is there a later vrsion
Blossom^> maybe not for Windows 3.1.......Peanuts.....
Blossom^> not yet anyway......
Blossom^> I need to say something here ..........
kittycat1> Got it done, Blossom--now I can add the class numbers as I get them
Blossom^> ICQ is available for Win95, Win3.1, Mac, Java....ect........each one seems to have different modes available......
Ghatten> 11133324---Ghatten2
eagel> If you would like I will put a list of everyone UNI in my class notes at eagels nest
berri> the windows 3.11 version isn't the same as what was in the introduction lesson, is there a way to chat?
eagel> you may not want this though cause
eagel> It is not private
berri> I presume the first lesson is about windows 95.
Blossom^> Keep in mind that they work the same and Mirabilis is working on adding all the modes that are missing to the other Operating systems...............ok?
Blossom^> All the lessons will include all the modes availble to Windows 95 berri......
berri> what about windows 3.11?
Blossom^> it will help when they are included with your version.....windows 3.11 works the same way........
Blossom^> so you can apply what you learn to the modes that you have available.......
Blossom^> does that answer your question berri?
berri> no, because some of the modes are missing on 3.11, I guess there is other ways to do the chatting and sending email but I will have to learn that on my own?
Blossom^> berri........you should have message, chat, url and file........is that correct?
Blossom^> e-mail and chatting in real time will come in a later lesson berri
Ghatten> There is a basic guide on the ICQ site for what they call "lower" versions of ICQ. It might be some help to you Berri http://www.mirabilis.com/icqtour/quicktour113.html
Blossom^> berri?
berri> I don't know where it is I have version 1.11 beta and it works.there is no avialable for random chat, available/connect and free for chat mode.
Blossom^> thanks ghatten
Blossom^> berri......when you click on a nick in your list........what do you have showing in that menu?
berri> I am not using it now, using irc.
Ghatten> The equivlent is "Online/Connect (instead of Available/Connect
Ghatten> Also the "random chat" /available for chat are new, but it won't keep you from chatting
Drg> ICQ is one of the best chat program around
berri> ok that is what I want to know Ghatten, thanks.
Blossom^> ok berri...........please e-mail me at icq@vu.org and I'll try to clear some things up for you if I can.....ok?
berri> I have no clue how ICQ operates at all, brand new.
Blossom^> thanks Ghatten :)
berri> ok.
kittycat1> berri--I have the Mac beta--so am also limited--and even different than what you havwe
kittycat1> have
Peanuts1> I have the same listings as Berri I think because I don't have Windows 95
Drg> does vu have icq
Blossom^> right Peanuts1
Ghatten> Also Berri, I know someone who is a Win 3.1 user and uses ICQ so if there is a really confusing issue, pass it on and I will ask gher to take a show at anseriung you
berri> yes Peanuts.
Ghatten> that made no sense
