With my 133-mghz pentium 1 I've avoided upgrading, although I keep getting the 'do you want to upgrade' question every time I log on.

I kind of like the Yahoo! menubar, though.  Makes it easy to get to bookmarks and My Yahoo!.  The old Yahoo! menubar, I hasten to add...

Cool Steve!  I also have the dreaded 133mhz pentium....It won't let me install Windows ME because the processer must be at least 150mghz >:( I can't WAIT to buy a new computer but in the meantime, I had a friend install 2 more hard drives (6 gigs each) for more storage space and more virtual memory, which makes this thing run just a tad faster.  As for yahoo, I have kept the older version.

Quoting:
Ever since I upgraded to the newest version I have trouble just starting up.  Yahoo has always been buggy but the newest version is the worse.  You would think that an upgrade would make this better.   ::)   There is an option when you install Yahoo to either install only Yahoo Messenger or install the Yahoo Experience.  Which I think installs all the other add on.

That explains why my browser crashes every time I try to run Messenger.  My modem is a bit sketchy, and I'm holding off getting a new one till I get working again, at which time I'll upgrade to one of the cable/broadband options.  If I sign up through my current cable tv provider, I'll get about 1/3 off the price of internet-access-only.

That being said, does anyone know how to DOWNGRADE to the older version of Yahoo Messenger?  I'm such a putz at computers compared to some of you guys. :-

You 133mghz too?   ;D  There are so few of us left.  The industry doesn't have much use for us... although we'd probably be on the top of the musicians on-screen call list if they ever decide to remake Deliverance

Actually, there is a site that has older Versions of different programs which is simply called OldVersion.com.  I do know that they have Yahoo there.  

Here is the link:  http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=yahoo

Hope that helps.   :)

Guess I am going out on a limb here......but I like the new yahoo with the e-motions.....helps me get my point across!

I really like the e-motions also.  My main complaint is that it is a very unstable version.  I hope they come up with a patch or another upgrade.   :-/

What is ICQ? I know ICP is Insane Clown Posse...

ICQ...I can't quit? I crave quiet?

Are you trying to screw with my head?  Are you serious?  Or are you really just new to the 'net?  I'm really gullible, so I can be sucked in pretty easily.  So here goes:

ICQ - I Seek You
Instant Messaging Program, one of the originals.  Get it at www.icq.com  Uses a UIN, Unique Identification Number for each user, instead of each user having to create a unique User Name.  So, anyone can have any user name they want, even if it matches anothers, because the system sends and receives messages based on the UIN, not the name.  Also features the typical file transfer ability, chat, etc etc etc.  I like it MUCH better than AIM, Yahoo, MSN or any other, and primarily use it above all others.

It's been around longer than those others as well.  In fact, you can tell how long some members have been using ICQ by thier UIN.  ICQ UIN's now are at least 9-10 digits long.  Mine is only 7 digits long, and I signed up YEARS ago, like around '97 I think.  A low number, like 6 or 7 digits used to be like a sign of prestige.  I remmebr seeing some people selling their UIN's on eBay, at a pretty good price because people wanted a low number.  Kinda like faking how long they'd been on the ICQ bandwagon.

So, what are you waiting for?  GO GET IT!

And then add me.  ICQ UIN 8497773

Nah. I'll stay with my MSN Messenger.  :-* :-* :-*

But Thanks anyway, TV9!!!  ;D ;)
