IMfree lets instant messengers roam almost anywhere around the house — up to 150 feet from an Internet-connected PC and base station — so your teens can chat with up to six buddies at a time from the comfort of... wherever.

Best of all, with the home computer in less demand, other family members can get their work done at the same time.

Parental controls enable you to determine when the IMfree device can be used and which chat invitations can be accepted. Big families can support up to seven handsets with one base station. There are no wires to string, and no additional monthly fees because it works with a free AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) account — you don't even have to be an AOL subscriber. Getting started is easy, too, because it uses current AIM Buddy Lists.

With IMfree, the family computer is available for the family once again. And the kids don't have to miss a single LOL or OMG moment.

This thing works pretty well. I was trying to figure out what to get my Internet-addicted mom for Christmas last year, and knowing she chats with family quite a bit thru AIM, I picked this up at Wal-Mart on clearance for just over twenty bucks.

It was a snap to hook up, and even Mom -- who is very timid at learning new technology but loves it once she gets the hang of it -- had the hang of this in no time. She loves being able to IM from around the house, and the range reaches well into their back yard as well. My old man likes it because he can be on the PC doing work-related stuff, and she can still be IMing family without tying up the PC.

Not a bad gift idea at all for someone who still uses AIM for chatting with family and friends.
