	My friend who is even less computer literate than me and that is saying something cannot understand why she cannot link on to MSN. She says she has something called IM and appears to believe that only aol could link into IM. However I have freeserve and note that my messenger friends are a mix of different servers including aol. I have sent her an invitation to join - it mentions something about her using a passport. Can anyone help two doddering ladies? Ann
