I have Skype that loads up when windows starts but I don't tend to keep Messenger on like that, just go on as and when.
I can't imagine how quick you'd type when it was chat rather than a forum, it must be even worse! lol

lol. yep i have fast fingers !

whats worse is my wife has messenger load up the same as me but hers is permanently set to appear offline  ::)

i know i upgraded mine a few months ago so could have nudges and the ability to send funny moving pictures - like a UFO flying around the screen and a big set of lips giving the screen a kiss !

Yep, I've got the nudges and pics and things, makes it more fun. Think it's version 7.

I used to think I typed pretty fast but it's slowed down since I got my new laptop with it's massive keys lol You'd think it'd make it easier but it doesn't, slower and I keep typing goobledegook!
