[Abarbarian]

I have a friend who wants to use MSN Messenger . I know nothing about it .

Is it safe to use .

Whats the .Net Pasport thing you need , does that mean that you have to register with microsoft ????

Will it hog recources as they only have a slow pc .

Is it easy to get rid of .

As they live miles away , is it easy to set up .

Any info would be greatly appreciated . I looked here but found little MSN stuff that was of use to me .

Did I ever tell you folk that you are just wonderful

You only need to know how to use it.

Is it safe to use .

No software from MS is safe. Did you not see all the nasties that MSN sent to all their recipients.

Whats the .Net Pasport thing you need , does that mean that you have to register with Microsoft ????

Yes, you have to 'register' & yes, it will not work without a passport, a Visa, Import Licence, shotgun licence, driving license, four pictures of you, your wife & children, DOB, Nat. Insurance number, bank details ... and a PC.

Will it hog resources as they only have a slow PC .

A mouse uses resources, and will slow down a PC.

Is it easy to get rid of .

Impossible ... it is, as with most MS software, part of the OS.

As they live miles away , is it easy to set up .

How long is the keyboard cable ?

Any info would be greatly appreciated . I looked here but found little MSN stuff that was of use to me .
