Trillian, are you using it?

[War4ever]

I am using a program called Trillian... available at www.trillian.cc it combines IRC, MSN messenger, AOL, ICQ, Yahoo and some other messenger services all at the same time

I have found this to remove clutter from the desktop, save ram and otherwise be an interesting little program.

It helps alleviate the problem of people using different messenger systems to set up games...

go check it out, you may like it..its freeware as well

[ColdWizard]

no, i don't use it and have no plans to do so. i only have aim and icq and nobody messages me anyway

[War4ever]

sucks to be you i guess

[ColdWizard]

yes it does, fortunately i don't mind too much

[Ming]

I only run ICQ anyway... and everybody I want to talk to uses it as well

[War4ever]

well i thought it was worth mentioning just b/c we have had others ask about other messengers and not many of us were too approving of them.....

but if you could use a program that incorporates 5-6 of them at once.....seems like a decent idea to me....

time will tell i guess.....

Ain't that the truth. I remember when MWHC first brought up using ICQ, and we all laughted at him.

I'd try it but sometimes those things screw up your mail, particularly address lists.

[SmartFart]

You're using Trillian?

Send me her number. I would like to try.

I tried it a few months back. Sux. Got all the separate programs imnstalled now. You start to miss things that you take for granted in icq.

[War4ever]

is it just me or do the contacts only pop up if someone sends you a message........?

i never see any names on my icq list, in fact , it asks for a number not a name?

but msn messenger lists my contacts by name....

not too sure if i am going to give this thing a ringing endorsement.

then again, i am just like any pro athalete (civ is an olympic sport isn't it ) who endorses sh!te without reading the fine print...

i have a sneaky suspicion this puppy is coming off my puter......

oh well +1

time for the aussies to add filler while i goto work

As long as my icq phone is working fine, I'm not touching anything.

I have Trillian, and it works fine, except for the fact that it does indeed seem to be "dormant" unless a message is sent?!?
Which makes it rather useless, because it requires you to send a "are you there" message...
But it does seem to put everyone under the same umbrella.

If there is an except then it doesn't work fine.
