Well, I'm back with MSN...
You can find me as sadomechanix@yahoo.dk (But please note, that this is my MSN-ID only - I do NOT get emails sent to this address..!).
You must have the following to use MSN Web Messenger:
* A web browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later, Netscape 7.1 or later, or Mozilla 1.6 or later, running in Microsoft Windows.
* An Internet connection (56 Kbps or faster recommended)
* A Microsoft® .NET Passport. If you have a hotmail.com or msn.com account, you already have a Passport.
* Popups enabled for this web site if you are using popup blocker software like the MSN Toolbar
Well, I've been on the brink of freaking out, about the background images in
live messenger, as they seem to be 'moving' all over, all the time.
That's why I made a background-image, giving me a nice, soft background.. You're
welcome to use it: 
Well well, I've been encouraged to add the smilies that I've made to my homepage, and here they are !
The pictures are *.gif formatted, and should fit right into MSN Messenger.
