Ola Hola Hello,

Hmmmmm about the MSN Messenger for Mac, it may be for OS-X and not OS 9. Some users on this board have had lots of problems using MSN Messenger for Mac. It seems Microsoft makes their non-pro applications for Mac really crappy, but their pro apps (like Office) are really nice. Other users use Adium (sp?), but not sure if this application is for Mac OS9 either. Adium does Yahoo, MSN, and a few others. Use the Finder and browse the folders and see what you have. Sorry if this seems ambigious, I started using Macs after the introduction of OS-X. :)

Saludos,

El Gringo Internacional
