The Internet Personal On-line Contact



ICQ is a revolutionary, user-friendly Internet program that tells you who's
online at all times -- enabling you to contact people at your command.  No
longer will you search in vain for friends or associates on the 'net.  ICQ
does the searching for you, alerting you in real time when they sign on. 
In addition, ICQ continually  tells you who of your friends and associates
are online.

With ICQ, you can chat, send messages and files, play games or just hang
out with your fellow 'netters while still surfing the net. The program runs
in the background, taking up a minimum of memory and net resources.  While
you work on other applications, ICQ alerts you when friends and associates
sign on, allowing you to work efficiently while having a whole range of
Internet functions at your fingertips.  Among the functions available are:
chat, message, e-mail, URL and file transfer.  ICQ also supports a variety
of popular external Internet applications.  With ICQ, launching an Internet
phone or video call is a breeze.  With a click of a button, you and a
friend (or friends) are instantly connected.  These events may be executed
among multiple users, so you can conduct a conference or just hang out
online.
