Thanks skybdark for telling me about this board, I have never been here.
Well for starters I really have no clue about computers and the internet in general only have learned some things through trial and error.
My computer is an antique. It is a 1995 Macintosh that I bought at a rummage sale. Now what I do know is that I have a Mac OS 8.1, and for the internet use something of a PPP transport modem. I have an internet provider I pay through the telephone company and they have a home page and e mail. I have an Internet Explorer 4. I have checked into downloading an updated version though as I checked into the things of each thing that I had to have, the modem was not the right #.#.# thing so didn't try it.
I do not have e mail anymore, as I started with Hotmail, then they upgraded and my computer will not go there. My internet people SBC Yahoo! have e mail and home page, and I cant go there either due to protocal or something. Then recently Yahoo! changed their e mail and now I cant get e mail there either.
When I click on a post, sometimes it takes my computer a mininum of 2 minutes to be able to read the post, less if there are no pictures and the same or longer amount of time to make replys.
I don't know if it is possible for my computer to go in a chat room as I have never done that before. Skybdark said something of downloading a java (I do not know what java is) when I do click on the chat a new window comes up, then there is just nothing. I have never been in a chat room ever so I am kind of unaware of how the chat room even operates. I have tried to download software like a macromedia flash player and it never does right. I guess If any one has any suggestions on helping me with chat, I would appreciate it. Also if someone could explain a brief description of what a chat room is and how it operates and what to do or expect?
I am hoping to get a newer computer someday hope soon. Thanks for your help.
Chris
