And then if your internet connection goes down you = hosed. No thanks I'll keep my hard drives and frankly I doubt that anytime in the future you'll see enough bandwidth to enough homes to support things like intensive 3D gaming where all the textures are stored on the hard disk.

I don't game and certainly it won't be accessible any time soon, but for applications like IMing, word processing, email, etc..there will be little need for apps to be stored on your hd.

 

[Pacfanweb]

None. I don't IM.

 

[DainBramaged]

I use meebo almost exclusively.

I used to use trillian, but Miranda is nicer, and open source.

xfire!

 

[njswift10141980]

trillian but I might have to try meebo because it sounds cool.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Favorite: ICQ 98a (and yes, I still have the install on my machine)
Using: Trillian.

 

[skace]

wtf, pigdin is losing to default aim.

 

[clamum]

Miranda.

 

[hzl eyed grl]

I don't like chatting on them any more. However, my old fav was Yahoo. I've used YIM, AIM, Trillian, ICQ, MSN and others, I'm sure but I just don't chat all that much any more. I didn't even know there were that many out there. :Q

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

There are issues / bugs with both Trillian and Gaim that I don't like...

I mostly use DeadAIM, but sadly it hasn't been supported in a long time and that's showing by now.

 

[Acanthus]

I just use AIM, it sucks but everyone uses it, and most of the features dont work in trillian.

 

[neomits]

Used to be a Trillian user. Switched to Pidgin. I like it a lot better.

Meebo at work.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Meh, not big on IM here ... but ... I have Gaim running on one system and I can access my old ICQ account without all the overhead/bloat of ICQ, also can access an AIM account that I created 4 or 5 years ago.

I much prefer the BitchX client on IRC or Ventrilo voice chat.

 

[phreaqe]

aim with aim adhack to get rid of all the annoying stuff in it. once you apply the ad hack its actually not that bad of a program.

 

[JTsyo]

Since I have 3 different accounts, Pidgin is pretty handy.

 

[dougp]

Miranda all the time - low memory usage, very simple and there's large community support for the plugins. You can make it very robusto, and it's handy. Pidgin would be my alternative choice - Trillian has just become such bloatware that it's not even funny ... you shouldn't have to pay for something like that.

 

[potato28]

Pidgin, it does all of the messengers I use.

 

[ryan256]

I use both Trillian and Skype
