So apparently people don't talk to you unless you have AIM.

I got AIM once, a long time ago on another computer, and it dropped eggs everywhere with ads that spouted and spurted and wouldn't go away.

I wouldn't mind usings AOL Instant Messenger, but for all the crap it would drop on my computer.

Is there like a crap-free, ad-free version?

I use Trillian Pro instead of AIM. It's kind of neat in that it combines all the instant messenger engines - AIM, Yahoo, ICQ & MSN into one interface. The basic version is free, but a bit buggy. Still, it seems to work pretty well.

*points to above comment* Ditto on that (the multi-program, one interface is very handy), although I am poor and use Trillian Basic. It does what it needs to do, with no bells or whistles on (but no pop-ups, either).

Huh. I'll have a look-see. Thank you.
