Instant Messenger

[Sceadwian]

Anyone here use any IM services? Forums are good and all but I like live chat sometimes and IRC is pretty much dead.
I'm Darknegation on AOL and Sceadwian on yahoo if anyone feels like adding me or posting their info

I tend to avoid things like instant messenger and such as they tend to make your PC more vulnerable to outside attack, along with the spyware often bundled into these packages.

You can try laserchat.org .

It is a laser chatroom, but alot of electronics discussions happen there aswell.

Gmail has one built in that does not require you to load additional software.

The only communication program I use anymore is skype. It does everything the others do and seems to be more dependable. Last time I used them the MS IM clients tended to hog the system resources.

I use a client called Miranda, it supports virtually all IM services and even supports IRC, it's a bit of a pain to configure but it doesn't even require installation it can be run from a flash drive on any computer.

Sceadwian...

that quote sound sooooo familiar and so recent...is that from the Last Unicorn?

 

[Sceadwian]

Yes, it goes with the Avatar image. Watched it again with my wife and stepson last night and my ears perked up at the quote. Seemed appropriate and I've been looking to change it for a while.

If that's a cat it sure is funky lookin.

Can you post a bigger image of it so I can see it clearer.

These old eye's don't work to good anymore.

Same here!

Don't use no IM that HiTech recommends. It has a built in club where he can push a certain key combination and bop you in the head!

Yea same here, but I've had no problems with Gtalk causing those things on my computer in the past 9 months or so that I've been using it.
