My brother recently got a new computer to replace an older model. The iBook 14" has been dubbed the "White Knight" and replaces the older "Black Box". (Any hints about computer case colors?) Prior to my leaving him in El Paso I signed him up with an AIM account. What I didn't tell him was that he would receive an email from AIM confirming his account. As you probably know, if you don't respond within the required 48 hours you will be lost in the electronic ether. Consequently, everytime he endeavored to sign on, AIM did not recognize him.
I had wanted him to have this capacity so that we could exchange audio messages. This is particularly important when he has computer questions. I hope it will be easier to communicate this way, if we can ever get it to work.
We did come up with an easy answer to his problem. We had him open a new account with a new screen name. I will know within a couple of days if he is on. I can hardly wait.
I may even share our success with you all.
Serve well!
