MSN For Dummies!
 

Gosh I really hate to sound so prehistoric but anyhow. On another thread, it was sated that not many people in England use AOL but rather MSN. I'm canceling my AOL now that I have broadband.

How do I "get" MSN? Is it merely a free site to gain email access? Do I just put MSN in a google search and I'll get a home page like AOL has?

And some of you guys thought I was smart eh?:rolleyes:

Re: MSN For Dummies!
 

Oh, so MSN is just the hotmail stuff eh? I already have an account in there but only use it for the church band messages hence my harpmanb@hotmail account. I guess there's more to it then that then eh?

Thanks for the guidance!

Hugs and Kisses!
