What's the difference between the Java or Active-X and the full chat application?
With Virtual Places 2.1 (the newest version), you can
  • participate in any chat in any room i.e. chat on any web site,
  • send private "instant" messages (IM) to anyone online in any chat room (you can do that without VP 2.1 as well),
  • automatically locate friends who are chatting in different rooms (you can do that without VP 2.1 as well),
  • you've got a face (called an avatar) that can display many emotions and gestures during conversations-- it's fun!
  • the chat program is a fully functional browser -- you don't have to decide whether you want to chat or surf-- just do both!
  • you can take "tours" of your favorite Web sites with others, chatting at the same time or participate in one
  • enjoy playing a variety of impressive multiplayer games when you have Win95 or Win98.
