You do excellent work... I am not remotely a techy lol... (I don't Twitter, Tweet, Slog the Blog, nor Face the Book)... but I message friends and use emails if I must LOL...

When Skype took over Windows Live Messenger I went on strike. I've managed to resort to an old Messenger still on my 10-year-old Dell desktop on XP Pro... it's not bad. It managed to keep some of the old settings. I signed up for Pro simply because I write a lot.. articles, comments, that sort of thing. I don't use emoticons in articles even though I am pro bono in them. As a school teacher I don't write for money.

I do enjoy your clever emoticons and the fun how they keep us upbeat. More power to you, Bruno.
