There is a problem with the chat client coding. Keeping the window open is what is slowing down your web browsers, or so it seems.
I'll be working with the developer of this software to see if we can't get it working which means that the chat can't happen here.
I'll be on MSN all day long if you all want to meet up. If you don't have MSN Messenger, you can find it
here.
MSN is free and a very useful tool to have for chatting or exchanging files with friends online.
If you've never used MSN Messenger before or don't even know what it is, I think it's safe to say that you'll want to chose the "New MSN User" Option.
I'll be online here as well so if you need any help with installing MSN then please PM me.
