i switched to MSN myself many years ago when i was sick of getting hacked via ICQ and my cd drive opening and closing

 

[CLKeenan]

I only use AIM and MSN, but I will install Y!IM in case I need to talk to a person and then uninstall after it is resolved.

I'm looking at installing SKYPE

Skype actually seems pretty cool. "free" calls skype to skype. cheaper rates skype to tradional phones.

I'm actually looking at it as a replacement for my normal phone which costs me around $100/month to have and use

I'm using Skype instead of my local phone for 3 months now, very cheap and no problems if you have a broadband connection.

Never really use any, but am about to download Trillian and give it a try.

Yeah the reason I would do that is to ditch my land line phone. The problem is I need the phone line to have ADSL which means I still need to pay the "line rental" fee. Thats hte fee that is often more expensive than the actual calls made.

I'm looking at wireless broadband now too. Without that moving fully to skype is useles. It would be good if skype offered Australian numbers too.

Trillian in iteself isn't an IM. It's a means to have multiple IM's running from the one interface. So you still need an MSN account or an AIM acount or whatever. Instead of having individual programs running you just run trillian instead.

got a nice low ICQ number - 1855130 anyone else have 7 digits or less?

8528395 - not as low as your's but still 7 digits I never use it anymore, though.

MSN to 100% here, but now I use trillian to connect more IMs.

[dre]

I use MSN.

 

[Nathan]

My ICQ starts with 64 and is 7 numbers. I never use it anymore though. It's more or less a dead IM I think. MSN seems to have taken over.
