What's the difference? Looks the same as before.

[Rik]

No good asking me - I don't use it.

[Tanzanite]

lol I haven't used it for ages, got no one on it to talk too anymore 

[Kheldar]

dunno wot i actually use.

or wot version it is.

it just loads up when i log on and away i go !

(see - if it aint broke dont try to be a clever dick and fix it  )

I have Skype that loads up when windows starts but I don't tend to keep Messenger on like that, just go on as and when.
I can't imagine how quick you'd type when it was chat rather than a forum, it must be even worse! lol

lol. yep i have fast fingers !

whats worse is my wife has messenger load up the same as me but hers is permanently set to appear offline 

i know i upgraded mine a few months ago so could have nudges and the ability to send funny moving pictures - like a UFO flying around the screen and a big set of lips giving the screen a kiss !

Yep, I've got the nudges and pics and things, makes it more fun. Think it's version 7.

I used to think I typed pretty fast but it's slowed down since I got my new laptop with it's massive keys lol You'd think it'd make it easier but it doesn't, slower and I keep typing goobledegook!

[Kheldar]

thats a new one !

i've heard of gobbledegook but not goobledegook ?

[Tanzanite]

Whoops! See what I mean!

Yeah got this a couple of days back from a leaked beta source - although I am a registered beta tester so it dont matter
