Powwow

This is the world's greatest chat program. Up to 9 people can chat (type) at once. You can even start a conference that up to 75 people can use at once. But best of all you can use it to talk (voice) with someone else anywhere in the world!

ICQ

* ICQ continually tells you which of your friends & colleagues are online
* ICQ gives you real-time chat with online friends and colleagues
* ICQ allows you to quickly send messages back and forth
* ICQ lets you easily send files to other people

ICQ is a revolutionary, user-friendly, Internet program that tells you who's online at all times. No longer will you search in vain for friends & associates on the Net. ICQ does the searching for you, alerting you when friends sign on. With ICQ, you can chat, send messages and files, play games or just hang out with your fellow 'netters while still surfing the net.

You will have to download and install some software, but it's well worth it. This is definitely addicting. In fact, I'll go ahead and issue this warning...

WARNING!!!

Chat programs have been known to cause waffle face!!!

Use at your own risk!!!

Waffle face? That's when you are enjoying yourself sooooo much (talking with people from all over the world...) that you stay online into the wee hours of the morning. One minute you're talking with someone from overseas. Next thing you know, you're eyes have closed and your head has fallen forward onto your keyboard. A few hours of sleeping with your face on the keyboard makes it look like a waffle.
