Point of Note

All my American friends use AIM (instant messaging from AOL), whereas my Canadian friends use MSN (instant messaging from Microsoft).

Last week I (C) asked one of my American (A) friends what her msn was, and this is what happened:

C: So what's your msn?
A: MSN? What's that?
C: It's instant messaging - have you never heard of Messenger?!
A: Oh Messenger! I actually use AIM, and all my friends do too!
C: Hahahahaha! I guess that's the difference between Americans and Canadians!
A: Hahahaha!

The point of note here is that Americans are weird. AIM is a ghetto version of ICQ. MSN has a much better interface, and far more bells and whistles!
