You heard it here first, Sega have put the launch of the Dreamcast back to October 14th from September 23rd because they couldn't keep up with the supply and demand (They couldn't make enough units to feed you hungry lot!) Let's hope it is as good as Sega make out it is!
Phil Computers would like to thank MultiChat for providing the source code for the Java chat Applet on this site. User's who access Chat from this site can talk with up to 7 other users from anywhere across the world! (any more and the chat gets kind of confusing so they have put a limit on 8 users at any one time). To obtain the code and put Multichat on your website contact Multichat at http://www.multichat.com. all you have to do is literally copy and paste the short html code from their site and that is it.
MultiChat offers two commercial versions, with extra features such as access to chat transcripts, which detail public and private chat room activities on your site. These logs also include user IP details and entry and exit times. This information can be viewed online or E-Mailed directly to you. Businesses might find this a useful tool to monitor traffic and comments about their site - or just see what people are saying while they are not around! The Pro version lets you set-up password protected chat - this can be moderated so you can see user IP details, send out warning messages to wayward participants or even boot them off. The free version will be suitable for most people, and Multichat is possibly the easiest way to introduce a live chat forum to even humble pages. It's free, easy to set up, and the only drawback will be you're phone bill once you start chatting - It's very addictive!
