Enjoy, and talk to you soon!

On a different note, I hope you all enjoyed the recent review of Potion Factory’s Voice Candy. And feel free to send me an email. I’ll be checking my inbox whenever I have access to a computer. (views@miniviewsf.com) When I get back, we’ll return to our normal schedule. I’ve started a comparison review of a couple of instant messaging apps, so watch out for that.

See you soon!

Once you are registered, you can sign in to your account using AOL’s own software, but my favorite instant messaging software is iChat. iChat is Apple’s IM software, and comes with all OS X computers that have Jaguar or above (more info). Another great piece of software is Adium X. It allows you to connect to many different IM services, and lets you log in to multiple accounts at once (more info). Even better, try Metal Adium, essentially the same as the original, but with a look optimized for the Mac (more info).

To contact me, create a new chat by going to “New Chat with Person…” in iChat or “New Chat…” in Adium X (both accessible from the File menu). Then, type in my username:
miniviewsf

For an easier way to message me, scroll down in the sidebar to your right until you see the Contact area. Now look under the ‘AIM:’ field. If the status bubble is green, I’m online. If it’s red, I’m offline. So, if in fact the bubble is green, you can click on that link to chat with me.

Finally, to join a group chat with the listeners of the show and possibly me, just go to your chat application and join a chat. When the dialog box comes up, just enter the name:
miniviews

That’s all for now, and I look forward to a brand new show coming up this Sunday!
