I was having problems when the new chat got started and Brian pointed me to something called VIRC which is essentially a different link to the chat room. It doesn't look the same but I got in when I first tried it. I'm sure a lot of people are having initial problems. For some reason, I could not access chat when using Firefox, but then I tried using Explorer and I got right in. Another thing, when I was trying out chat through the VIRC thingie, Tom Wopat was in the room then too.
