It's nearly Friday and I thought = that I'd pass this on for what it's worth. No flames are needed or expected. For about a month now myself and several family = members have been using a voice and text based chat program to keep in touch. We are impressed with it and I was wondering if there = would be any interest among listees in having a forum set up to discuss some = of the things that we do on the present server but by voice and in real time. The program is freeware and all one needs is a = sound board, speakers and a microphone. The program is called = FireTalk and is downloadable from the web at www.multitude.com .

It will allow as many as want to be on at one time = and you can have both the text chat box and the voice mode running = simultaneously. A forum has to be setup each time you go on and should be password = protected to keep out the usual unwanted persons that seem to frequent the chat rooms. I would like to suggest that if it comes to = fruitation that the forum be called VW Busses and be password protected = with GERRY which everyone is most familiar = with. This would allow members to converse in real time and in a group atmosphere. Just putting it out = FWIW. Thanks.
