Should we change chat to MSN?

Central Canada, eh?
I was thinking about this today, if we made a private chat room on MSN, then it would be easier to know if someone is there while we are doing other things.

What are your thoughts guys??
 
I'd prefer a different chat client. Yahoo or AOL for example. We could also just create an IRC channel. I'm just not a big fan of MSN since they're not multiplatform like AOL or Yahoo and have no UNIX support.
 
My kids use MSN, so that is why I suggested it. I have a Yahoo account, so that would work also, but does it work like MSN does. The reason I suggested this is that you can have it open in the background, and then when someone logs in it lets you know. If Yahoo will do that - it gets my vote!
 
im a big fan of yahoo but i dont know if yahoo does private rooma anymore.... i know AOL does and you can leave a shortcut to the roomon your desk top... cigar chat at just a double click away.
 
I would prefer not to use AOL, but will go with the majority, I am adding a pole right now.
