      Exactly. I quit using IMs a few years ago when all of them became what I consider a virus.

              I know for a fact you used Yahoo Messenger, and perhaps GTalk - have you stopped using them?

              Cheers, Vikram.

                No GTalk. But I've been using Yahoo messenger, only when my client insisted on chatting with me. I don't like these messengers one bit and all the crap they put along in my machine (I'll never let it install any toolbar or anything in addition however).

                      The only good one. http://Pidgin.im[^]

                      Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
