GAIM
Another good alternative to AIM is GAIM. It's an GNU/GPL open source alternative that has come a long way in the last few years, and it's available for all major OSes. |

Re: GAIM
you're right, I use GAIM and it's come a very long way, now with its 0.76 version, with transparency option, etc.
However, it has some issues with Yahoo! IM, and sometimes crashes under Windows
For anyone interested: »sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/

1 edit | I wish I could agree. One of the most common problems with *IX-developed applications that rely on X is that their authors have absolutely no idea what the "U" in UI stands for.
Also, if you read their Windows port page, you'll find all sorts-of general idiocy, involving blaming buggy DLLs and yadda yadda for what actually look to be bugs with the (absolutely horrid) Win32 port of GTK. All of this cross-platform voodoo could be circumented if X programmers began using wxWindows, sigh...

| Trillian works for me
Not only being able to run all clients in one window, just knowing that its the ONLY program installed makes me rest easier. I hate piggyback applications that come along for the ride on someone elses software. IF I WANTED IT, I would have installed it!

It's funny when some idiot in PR has to find a way to say how great of an improvement it was to f*ck up their software, and how it "teaches" us great lessons. Then their company gets bought by M$ or HP, so they can feed those grim demonic beasts.

Re: I always think...
I'm thinking that it won't be long until AOL well be doing some downsizing. What I really mean to say is that I hope AOL will perish and fester.

Why the hell go with the 5.5 spyware version of AIM? Just stick with the old 5.2, and all is well. |

Sorry about you Apple users, limited to what Apple says you can use. I can use whatever hardware or software that "I" want to. 
...and no, there is nothing that Apple makes that I would ever want to use. |
