No more faxing. The document goes directly to the person I intend, and it arrives instantly, so I don't have to wait for a fax to be retrieved or email to be accessed. When you are working at home, attending school, or in a large corporation, that is such a great benefit. I don't find the messages that do come intrusive at all. They come when I want them to.
Folks use instant messagers for all sorts of reasons.
MSN Messenger works well for my needs, but it isn't perfect. I find that the email account it links to often hangs. I tell you, I am an IMer. I don't know what I did before they invented this application. All Rights Reserved.
