MSN Beta 9.0 Review, by Lloyd Reed

Program Name: MSN Beta 9.0
Platform: Windows

Review, by Lloyd Reed( guest contributer)


I have been using the new MSN(Windows Live) Messenger for a few weeks now, I shall rate it

Layout: 9.0

I like the layout, its very slick, it have built-in themes, a favorites for quick chatting with importaint people.

Use: 10.0

I would say, perfect. I use this quite often, it runs faster that the old 8.5 that I had. Its great.

E-Mail: 10.0

Another perfect. It tells you how many e-mails you have, and if you installed the MSN mail, like I did, you will love looking at your mail in a nice program.

Overall: 29/30

I am really happy with this. Its really good, its sleek, and its light on the resources.
I have not seen any issues with it at all. My last MSN would log-in and out randomly, none of that here! Over all, I say, I can't wait for this to be out of the beta.

An Interview Series

Hey all, sorry for the lack of updates recently!

You will be pleased to know however that although I haven’t updated in a while, work has indeed not been idle for the Fanzine.

We will be starting a series of interviews here with friends,associates, and some fellow Webmasters or Bloggers.

The first interviewee has already been picked out, but I need to see if they are interested first.

Expect to see the first interview up shortly.

Oh, and I haven’t forgotten about reviews either…trust me

Nothing too important…read if you’d like? :)

Well, this is just me, Lu, posting. I’m really not up to much. I got about 20 mins. to head out the door to give my friend, Steve, a ride home. There, we’ll play the very awesome game, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. We played the game last night and it literally plays out like a movie…so, in a very broad sense, it’s like an interactive movie! Let’s see…what else did I do today? Well, I rented two movies: Skeleton Key and MaxedOut. I’ve already seen Skeleton Key, but dammit all, I just love the movie…and I’ve not seen MaxedOut, but I like movies of its ilk. I used to own Skeleton Key, as a matter of fact–UNTIL IT CAME UP MISSING, THAT IS! I came unto this realization of its absence when I was thinking of what movie I wanted to watch of my 200+ DVD collection one night…Skeleton Key instantly came to mind. And unfortunately, much to my chagrin, the damned thing was missing…so, my mother and I, tonight, wanted to see if The Brave One, starring Jodie Foster, was out on DVD so that we could possibly rent from Hollywood (piss off, Blockbuster!), but sure enough, it wasn’t available. Whilst rummaging through the Horror section, I harked back about how those several months ago I wanted to watch Skeleton Key and it being misplaced. And, lo and behold! the movie was in stock! So…that’s how I came upon Skeleton Key afterward deciding on getting MaxedOut. I think I’ll watch Skeleton Key first, as I like those nights where I have trouble sleeping at night, lol.
