A new toy!

[jchrisobrien]

I downloaded a new toy at Eeyrg's recommendation. Trillian is a chat program that works with most all existing chat programs. It has skins to customize it, and is more streamlined that AIM. The biggest benefit is no ads!

Credit where credit is due:
Eeyrg for her commentary, and pointing it out
Cris for mentioning this several months ago on a list we're on.

Thanks to both of you! I'll give it a run for the week and see how it goes.

Wow. How'd you find out about that? The recent Cnet pick?

Keeps getting better all the time eh? what do you think of the new Alpha release?

A friend of mine on AOL told me about it.

I like the program, I think it's pretty sleek and like the "smallness" of it.

Besides IM is so clunky and ICQ (it used to be fantastic before being owned by AOL) is starting to be more and more of a pain....

I'm using the Egyptian skin now... I'm going to try Pulse II later. I told a friend about it and he downloaded it (he oftens runs MSN and AIM at the same time).

The virus is spreading!
