...Or those of us that reinstall Windows too much or manage large home networks.

Do people that use im's have dial-up connections? I can't imagine leaving a messenger on using dial-up because of the cost. I posted the question here because this is an im board and I assumed everyone had broadband. Just curious. David points out a good use for it. I don't know how much time I spent at Windows update the last time I reinstalled...

[shifter]

No, not everyone is fortunate enough to have broadband, you would be surprised at the number of users still using Dail-up. Dail-up users would not leave there IM clients on 24/7, most just use IM for chatting with friends, then sign out and disconnect when finished. You won't find to many Dial-Up users idling.

Haha, no idling? Pas possible! (I'm learning French).
I always idle.... but then again I have a cable connection.

Probablement dire que ce dialup est impossible d'utiliser?

Do you know if the CD would be any use to pirated version of Windows that don't allow system update downloads anymore?

....Don't we have a rule or something against discussing illegal activities...?

Hey! I'm learning French in school. Err Fimus's rough translation. You all are very brilliant, but what is the point of your posts?
