does your system try and open the applet, Shorty? do you have a pop up blocker running?
it takes a while for my machine to initialize the applet, how long are you waiting for the caht window to show up on the home page?
describe what happens when you try to get in....

that is what i try to do also, you have to open two seperate windows and keep them open,,,,there were actually 5 peeps in chat today, including Andy (+5 from EDT)!
and Deepsouth, tho he was in tomorrow (+16 hours((EDT)) or so)
i think we got Andy laughing so hard he fell off his chair....that is what he said, anyway, HA!!

Wow , I am so pleased to hear that Andy had a laugh on my behalf Yes it is strange to be living ahead of time and see history before you people get a peep at it ;D My brother on Salem had a fit too when he realised I was so far ahead. Keep laughing , is good for the face muscles. Jack

nope, cookie, it gets there tomorrow. think about where Andy is in the UK (England) as the starting line for the sun, that is why they call it Greenich Mean Time (0), blame Lewis Carrol and Alice and the rabbits.
the other side of GMT is the International Date Line and that happens somewhere close to French Polynesia but not quite, if i remember. somewhere over the Pacific.....but anyway, it delineates the globe into 24 sections (one section for each hour). there are some cool clock links that will show you who is in darkness and who in light....
jet lag is a terrible thing. being in tomorrow in Asia (Australia and New Zealand) is kinda cool though, unless you play the stock market and then it can be quite the caffeine addiction.
time is weird. i like that this site has an international flair tho..
