15.  What user name and password do I use for the
       chat room?

The chat room does not require a formal login process with a predefined user name and password. All that is required is a single word user name that will act as your screen name and identify you to other people once inside the chat room. Almost any user name should work, assuming there isn't already somebody in the chat room with the same user name.  So feel free to use your first name, or last name, a nickname, your initials, your display name from the bulletin board, or anything you like. Also note, password is NOT required at this time for anyone other than the Chat Room Administrator.
