[HPforGrownups] E-groups vs Yahoo

(besides, I just got Cheetah Chat so I can Yahoo 
Chat in wonderful colors!).

Rita, that's one of my advantages to Yahoo; thanks for reminding me of it!  I love my cheetachat.  Not only do you get pretty colors, and macros, and etc.... you also can copy the entire chat and have a word file later that someone can access.

(So, should I post over here the few chats that I copied?  Grins)

Just a thought.  I do like the response via email feature, though.  It has spell check! and I don't have to figure out if Outlook Express is going to open another window or not.  (I am not opening these in yahoo-mail yet)

:)

  I was already in half-a-dozen e-groups when the only Yahoo Club I 
  joined was HP4G....

  Now there are 5 HP e-group message pages among my bookmarks (plus PoU 
  Files).

  I always read the posts on the web site. I find the Yahoo one easier 
  to use. While Yahoo doesn't have a SEARCH, e-groups doesn't tell me 
  what post the post I'm reading is a reply to. The member profiles on 
  Yahoo are much better than the ones on e-groups, and I am always 
  irritated by the way that e-groups conceals all @dresses (with the 
  noble intention of protecting us from Spam), and I LIKED being 
  Catlady de Los Angeles ....

  Tim just started an new e-group last week (for his science fiction 
  fan friends) and they tried to use the chat room provided by e-groups 
  and reported that it was utterly slow and generally a pain. The only 
  chats I've ever been in are the HP4G Yahoo chats, and that chat room 
  seems to work fine (besides, I just got Cheetah Chat so I can Yahoo 
  Chat in wonderful colors!).
