My AIM screen name is twoblackdogs1658  for Netscape.
AIM used to start automatically on every boot after I installed 
Netscape7.0 in Windows. It took me a while to figure out how to disable it .
A girl at work was telling me how great AIM is, so I still fire it up 
occasionally when I run Netscape for browsing, but nothing happens.

I found ChatZilla quite helpful for answers to Mozilla/FireBird questions.
There used to be a bot holding irc://efnet/nflug but not any more. I 
still have CZ set to log on to that channel automatically, though.
I've met some guys from the list on there, also a channel called 
buffalo, but I forget what network it was on.
