Jim, when you are at your AOL start screen, you will see along the upper toolbar a "people" icon, with a picture of a face. Just click that, then
click "find a chat". Next, look for the link to "enter a private chat", and click that. It will give you a little white box where you are expected to type in the name of the private room you wish to visit. In this case, just
type "chip collectors" (without the quote marks) and then click go or enter,
and you will be there. If you try it at an hour other than the designated Thursday night time, the room would very likely be empty.
Although, you and another chip collector could always use a room like that at any time you choose.
