This was a fun quest. I first used IM way back as an undergrad to communicate with my then boyfriend, now hubby. We were long-distance for a while so it really came in handy and saved plenty on phone bills. Plus, we were both most likely at a computer in the library or dorm computer lab rather than near a phone. I also used it in library grad school to communicate with classmates.
I haven't used it at home with my husband until this exercise and I must say I can foresee some benefits. Today we negotiated dinner plans via IM while I worked on the laptop upstairs and he in his home office downstairs. Hmmmm fridge and husband downstairs, me upstairs. Let me see how I can work this to my advantage. ;c)
I'd also like to try IMing relatives overseas in Belgium. Alstublieft? Hello?
In closing, I think it's great that CCPL has offered this service for a while now. One day during open hours I plan to try it out.
