All Narfed Up photography and words by Bryan Villarin

I haven’t seen Grouper before, but two features that I think I’d like are the ability to drag and drop files while chatting to people, and the encryption. Sending files through AOL Instant Messenger isn’t that bad, although there are times when transfers won’t go through due to firewall configurations, and the transfers aren’t even encrypted.

I’m posting this in case someone out there might see a big benefit from Grouper. (Thanks Marc.) It is new, so don’t be surprised if there’s a few bugs. I don’t need this program right now, but it’s great to know that I have a viable option if the need arises. (To my close friends - I have a four N-vites for a service that starts with a “G” and ends with “Mail”. If you ever realize how much Hotmail stinks, and want something better, holler at me.)
