I am an imbecile when it comes to Computers. (for now)
And I know you Hypographers are pretty crafty with these fandangled contraption thingees...

I gleened a lot about Mac's and Computer software stuff in the "Do You Mac?" thread
So thank you!!

I may learn something yet.

and I will post any computer questions here too...

OH!
What is ICQ? and what does it do? and how?

I was gonna' pick Panjandrum's brain with it. She told me I could, but I don't know what it is.

This is only a test of the Emergency Broadcast System,

See Martijn Koster's Web Robots pages. You'll learn more than you want to know even though it's a pretty dated collection. Look for slurp under it's old name, Inktomi.

Thanks Tormod!
Will try to keep the Non-Science to a minimum.

It may take a little while.
I have to retrain the little mouse in the wheel...

You dont use any instant messaging programs?

Its a program that lets you talk to people through the internet in real time - some offer voice conversations but most are text based.

Nope.

The only thing I do online is Hypography and Google searches.
minus the internet porn!

I only use a computer for typing up research papers and assignments for school.

I am such a Virgin.
I don't play video games either...I am pretty clueless really.

So thank you for your help.
I should post this in postmagnet,

but what do I need to do to post ICQ?
If I have their number, what do I need to do??
I don't have an ICQ number as far as I know?

you need to go and download ICQ just google it, it will carry you through the installation and the rest is faily intuitive - but if you need any more help just give us a yell
