        I stopped using ICQ 3 years ago. A new version involved a new menu graphic, and 6 new dll's for the main app to load at runtime. The damn thing took around a minute to start up. In the end, they just filled it up with useless features that only AOL users would find useful. Simon Q: Why didn't Intel call the Pentium the 586? A: Because they added 486 and 100 on the first Pentium and got 585.999983605. Sonork ID 100.10024

              You're all so damn right! In the beginning ICQ was a perfect program. Well not perfect but good enough. Until they made it a 6MB installation file... And btw I learned a new word : Bloatware :-) its the perfect definition for the type of ICQ... crappy big program filled with stupid features. The only good features are the regular messages, file transfer, chat and sms (i dont like typing like one hour on a cell just for a msg, anyway i dont have a cell :-) :-) ) - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"

                            I just don't allow messages/urls from people not on my contact list.

                              You don't have to send a feedback, and not talking only about you, but about many people in Linux communities for example. Who can stop some Microsoft's software checker to enter and read what linuxoids say? :) Well, it is just my thought. But here is another. Point me why "Windows sucks"? :) Most of people just being jelaous that Bill and not them has all those billions :) And this is the MAIN reason why people say bad about Windows and Microsoft.
