Friday, February 2nd at 10 p.m. EDT Topic: "Did the computer geek see his shadow? or Projects for Valentines." Summary:The main idea of the chat session was merely to kick back and chat, have a little fun, discuss some of the plans we have for Valentines Day in our clubs. Some of the issues we focused on were most recent news concerning the launch of the new Yahoo! Groups product, what features we may expect to continue, how it will impact clubs, and our feelings about these changes. But, I think you can tell from the dialogue following that we mostly had fun. Attendance:AngelPie_Mouse, mistybunny, ArrylT, NOWAYWINS, uwasv_waya, HRRis, Lo_Forde, cornella3, FreedomDeep, sharonlower, forgiven_u, allboymommy3, the_mystical_maiden, Sharra32, celticgreen_00, bwmtdetroitandbeyond. Dialogue prior to ArrylT's entrance removed from script. ArrylT says, Senator Savoie present and accounted for mistybunny says, Senator? ArrylT says, yes i got appointed senator in a virtual government club  AngelPie_Mouse says, Yah, are they senators in Canada?  mistybunny says, Well, do we address you as "your hieness" now? ArrylT says, there are senators in canada  mistybunny says, your majesty? your grace? ArrylT says, but this is an international club  AngelPie_Mouse says, Mr. Senator ArrylT says, your Honourable Senator will suffice  AngelPie_Mouse says, Honorable sir ArrylT says, hehe  mistybunny bows to his Honourable Senator  AngelPie_Mouse says, Just call me the goddess mistybunny bows gracefully.  mistybunny says, just call me "Trouble" NOWAYWINS enters uwasv_waya enters  AngelPie_Mouse says, LOL ArrylT says, bows back to the lovely Lady MistyBunny  AngelPie_Mouse says, No problem with that one, Mistybunny.

N nowaywins says, did you see my converted comment b44 i left? ArrylT says, yep  mistybunny says, yes N nowaywins says, ok ArrylT says, i asked if u were an ordained minister hehe  AngelPie_Mouse says, Because we know that nowaywins is not celebate ArrylT says, converyting the heathens heh ArrylT says, excuse the typo  mistybunny says, could be anglican..........our minister in an anglican church isn't celebate  AngelPie_Mouse says, same as episcopal in the US, isn't it?  mistybunny says, I don't know N nowaywins says, angel have you seen anything about how pager will work with groups?  mistybunny says, not up on my God things  AngelPie_Mouse says, hehehe...better get there. Bush has decided that the presidency is a pulpit.  AngelPie_Mouse says, Has prayer meetings every morning on National TV  mistybunny says, why would the pager be bothered with the clubs ??? Afterall you should still be able to message friends ArrylT says, did you know Ashcroft got ordained by crisco oil?  AngelPie_Mouse says, LOL ArrylT says, it is true  AngelPie_Mouse says, right, on topic  AngelPie_Mouse says, Pager is not something that eGroups has so it has to be integrated. uwasv_waya says, What us pager? ArrylT says, no it doesnt uwasv_waya says, is  mistybunny says, the yahoo messanger uwasv_waya says, OK  mistybunny says, I do'nt see why there is a worry ??  AngelPie_Mouse says, The last communication I read from Warren, and I admit to being behind, was that we would be using MyYahoo, Yahoo chat, Yahoo pager, and MyBriefcase with the new interface HRRis enters  AngelPie_Mouse says, Hi HRRis ArrylT says, but it is a yahoo interface right? HRRis says, Hello,  mistybunny says, so they are working on integrating it  mistybunny says, Hi Holly HRRis says, Hi Gwen! ArrylT says, hi Holly  AngelPie_Mouse says, Yah, and they need to introduce all of these on the eGroups side first.  mistybunny says, any news on if we are getting a beta club? uwasv_waya says, That is one of the reasons they had to get a yahoo ID. N nowaywins says, nope HRRis says, interface on what? what did I miss?  AngelPie_Mouse says, apparently, eGroup chat and that's the only feature they actually had of the four, is really lame. N nowaywins says, there is no reason to get yahoo ID  AngelPie_Mouse says, and we thought Yahoo! chat was lame  mistybunny says, well joe, I can see why everyone had to have a yahoo ID since Yahoo is using yahoo chat with yahoo groups ArrylT says, i doubt Pager will change much  mistybunny says, yes noway, you'll need it to get into chat  AngelPie_Mouse says, The only reason eGroupers need to get a Yahoo! ID is to use the on-line interface  mistybunny says, but if you don't want to do anything except read messages........then you don't HRRis says, will cheetachat work with Yahoo Groups?  AngelPie_Mouse says, if they stay using e-mail, they don't need it uwasv_waya says, That's a good ques. uwasv_waya says, Cheetachatters will be mad if it don't  AngelPie_Mouse says, I guess we'll find out tonight with NoWayWin's chat session.  mistybunny says, I went into a yahoo group chat room yesterday, the code for the chat room was way diff than this one  mistybunny says, I agree with you joe HRRis says, Roger, what are you doing tonight?  mistybunny says, No I don't think you'll be able to use CC in Yahoo Groups yet, the groups don't show up on the club room list in CC uwasv_waya says, A lot of yahooligans use cheeta. HRRis says, I meant after the conversion.  mistybunny says, yes but thats still directly in yahoo  AngelPie_Mouse says, I do.  mistybunny says, angel, your yahoo groups show up in CC? uwasv_waya says, I haven't been in cheeta for a long time.  AngelPie_Mouse says, I didn't look  mistybunny says, I think I better upgrade my CC, I do'nt even list my clubs anymore, only two HRRis says, sometimes, my regular clubs dont show up. LOL! N nowaywins says, mine dont show up Lo_Forde enters  AngelPie_Mouse says, Nope mistybunny leaves Lo_Forde says, hello all  AngelPie_Mouse says, no, eGroups on my list ArrylT says, hello Lo_Forde HRRis says, are we on voice tonight? HRRis says, Hey, Lorraine! Lo_Forde says, hi Arryl, nice to meet you mistybunny enters ArrylT says, i dont know if i am listed as having voice but i never use it ArrylT says, re bunny  mistybunny says, hi  AngelPie_Mouse says, Hi Lo_Forde Lo_Forde says, hi Gwen  mistybunny says, Hi Lo cornella3 enters  AngelPie_Mouse says, Hi Cornella3  mistybunny says, Hi Cornella3 cornella3 says, hello N nowaywins says, hi ArrylT says, hello cornella AngelPie_Mouse chuckles in amusement. Lo_Forde says, Has anyone asked my question yet? HRRis says, which one was that Lo? HRRis says, you have so many!!!  AngelPie_Mouse says, LOL...play nice mortals. Lo_Forde says, Holly grrr HRRis says, I can tease Lo, we are buddies!  AngelPie_Mouse says, hehehe  AngelPie_Mouse says, I know. Lo_Forde says, When the conversion is done to the clubs, will all the members automatically be converted or must they do this first?  AngelPie_Mouse says, Actually, we are not yet on topic  AngelPie_Mouse says, sort of Lo_Forde says, oh, ok  AngelPie_Mouse says, I still don't know the answer to that one. cornella3 says, When are these changes suppose to happen?  AngelPie_Mouse says, On the eGroups side, to use the new product (not just e-mail), they'll have to have a Yahoo! ID  AngelPie_Mouse says, but not if they only use e-mail uwasv_waya says, When yahoo desides to do it.  mistybunny says, I heard that the club changes won't be till later this year N nowaywins says, the change should be about 2 months away at least  mistybunny says, not anytime soon anyways
