[nfbcs] Desktop Texting Applications

[Lucy Cox]

Hi,

I have a friend who uses Yahoo Messenger to send text messages. I don't use 
it myself, so can't tell you how, but it is possible.

Take care,

Lucy

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he 
knows that you are slightly cracked.
