    Really don't know what you are talking about, I was a subscriber when MSN started and it was MSN. Thats all. There were 3 other similar services like MSN at the time, but they had nothing to do with MSN

    MSN's original name was MSN. Right from the beginning. It was even there on the ancient versions of Windows, that little icon that nobody ever clicked.

    I think you are confusing MSN with something else Wiz.

    And if you still think MSN had another name previously, here is the history of MSN from its beginning in 1995 when it was called, you guessed it, MSN.

    I had the dial up MSN on my first PC - at that time it was called, MSN.

    Is he referring to that MSN chatroom where you had drawn characters talking to each other... it had an alien, a girl, a guy and other animals. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

    Sounds like MS Cartoon Chat.... or was it MS Character Chat.... something like that...

    But it still wasn't MSN.
