You can send a quick message across the LAN using a standard tool within Windows 98/Me. WinPopUp is a standard and easy-to-use messaging utility within Windows. To use WinPopUp, go to Start > Run and type in 'winpopup' in the Open field, and click OK. This will open the WinPopUp window. To send a message through WinPopUp, click on Send-this opens up the Send Message window. Type message in the Message text field, and the name of recipient-the computer name-and click on OK. Incoming messages are also displayed in the WinPopUp window.

NOTE: Keep in mind that for the recipient to be able to receive your message, he or she would also need to have WinPopUp running.
