Latest TODAY column: IM chatting with myself and others
Excerpt:
RECENTLY, I started to use Instant Messaging (IM) more frequently. Yes! I am joining the ranks of the young people! According to another newspaper, it is the new addiction of the young (to which the young would reply: "Yeah, as recently as the year 2000!").
For the uninitiated (old farts, not like me, young fart), IM is a form of computer "chat" that allows one to have a real-time conversation with another IM user. It is like instant email, or talking with your keyboard.
