While down there we went to the beach and on the way back hit San Antonio, more on that later. So on Tuesday we showed up at The Cinema at...

IM is cool?

I've long been an advocate for Instant Messaging, both for personal as well as professional purposes. Back in the mid '90s I used ICQ for chatting with my family online.
