What Instant message program do you use most?

Post by Arkady »

Just curious.

I use Trillian which allows me to connect to ICQ, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, and IRC at the same time. The thing is, I mainly only connect to AIM and ICQ these days. I was just wondering if some of you use the others more.

I usually use [url=gaim.sourceforge.net]gaim[/url] for aim (I can run it on the linux desktop, which means it doesn't bother me on my main screen, and it's better than the real aim client anyway - the only problem with it is that it doesn't support mac.com aim sessions), and the real yahoo client for yahoo.

I rarely bother with icq, and you couldn't pay me enough to use a microsloth protocol.

I like Trillian as well......I have an older computer....only 550 mhz, so I don't like to clog up the pipes with a lot of open programs....Trillian works great for me.....and you can chat with your away message up if you want some privacy.....

I use Trillian because it's...well...simple

I'm normally on Aim because most of my friends are. Kind of partial to ICQ since it was my first instnat messenger.

I should have clairfied. We use everybuddy in Linux which is similar to Trillian but not as nice. As soon as I can figure out howto get WINE tro work, I plan on using trillian in Linux as well.

I use Yahoo, and MSN, but mostly Yahoo, as MSN likes to lock up on me. Wouldn't let me log in for almost a month straight.

I had ICQ, but then I started having problems, now I got runner errors, so I doubt I will get that back.
Anyone know how to fix runner error 126?

so, am I the only one on here who has looked at that trillian thing and thinks it's a user interface abomination, and needs to be destroyed?

There's a reason I'm sticking to strings and tin cans. You just nailed it.
