I visited the MSN page. I can get to it, but the chat instructions clearly state that the chat feature is not Macintosh compatible.
I'm on a Macintosh. iMacDV SE running on OS 9.
I *might* be able to use my free alumni access at the university library to use a PC computer, but I'm not sure of the hours as graduation is coming up soon.
Honestly, I've never used ICQ, IM or any chat program. Oh wait, the last time I did I believe I was in unix wayyy back in the day.

Anyway, I have no idea which chat programs may be Mac compatible. My dad says that he once tried to attend an online conference on an AOL chat room and it crashed his computer (another Mac, but an older model).
