Sorry to be a BDN (=big damn nuisance), but can someone tell me how to get AOL instant messenger and how to take part please?
I'm sure this was in an earlier thread, so if you can point me at the right thread that will be enough.
Also, am I going to regret signing up for AIM? by this I mean - is it going to do anything to my PC, or mean I will get unsolicited emsails, or popups encouraging me to use AOL, or end up with spyware-type-things on my machine, or anything like that? Not that I'm paranoid you understand.

First of all, I don't think you have to worry about spyware or popups when installing or running AIM. I've been running it since the first shindig and didn't get any unwanted downloads.
If you'd like to join, visit www.aim.com and download the program from the upper left corner and install it. The installation is pretty standard, you just have to provide an email address and choose a username and password. Once the program is up and running (I'll describe this for the PC version), click the 'people' menu and choose 'send chat invitation'. In the window that opens put your nickname into the list of people to invite (upper half) and 'Firefly' into the lowerpart for the name of the chat room and click the send/invite button. This way you can invite yourself into the Firefly room anytime.
You can add the people there to your buddy list, so you can see who's online at the moment. I currently have 31 people just for the Firefly room, so it might take some time to get them all. I think there's also a posibility for someone to send you their buddy lists. For example you can click the 'setup +-' icon in the lower right corner of your buddy list and click 'add buddy' in the next window. Just type in the nickname (for example mine is Chronos FFF), press enter and close the window. Now you have me in your buddy list and can see if I'm online.
That's about it, for more info look me up online or write at aywyn@email.si. Keep flying.
edit: Oh, I also suggest that you try to use the same nick on AIM as you do here. You don't have to of course, It's just easier for people to recognize you. If the nick is taken try putting FFF at the end like I did.

Sundays, huh? Well I will have to take it week by week. Some Sundays I'm home by 4 and others it's 6pm. I like the idea of two nights. Of course Wednesdays are open since there is a lack of current sci-fi that night.
Anywho, you guys have fun. I'll be there if I can.

This is a great time for me as I'm in the UK. Unfortunately I can't make it this Sunday but will definitely be around in future.
Well, my sister's a ship... we had a

As far as the episodes are concerned...I've already suggested 'The Message' and 'Safe'. I'm open to other suggestions, but haven't heard any so far.
