They are loosing their user base and trying to regain it.

My sister actually downloaded Triton on her suped-up 128MB RAM box ... let's say that it actually is possible to make WindBlows even slower! Surprised

A much better alternative is naim IMHO, though I'm more prone to using gaim if using X.

Trillian's nice if you use multiple clients. It lets you speak on AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ all from one program.
It's a real pain if you wanna transfer files or view webcams, though.

Jabber! Jabber! Use the damn jabber people!

Yeah jabber works well, but the gateway's aren't alway's quite right....

And gaim works on windows too.

I really like GAIM, but I think it has memory leaks if you keep a chat window open for too long, because after awhile it takes for every to bring it to focus if you have it minimized (on Windows), for me at least. Other than that, it is really quite awesome.

I'd still rather write my own client for AIM than use the default, though.

Ew! Triton sucks. REally. Its too big and bulky. I like using 5.5 still. Same experssions and same aim.

i was thinking of installing a text based aim client on the new server.

Miranda is a fantastic Windows messenger, I think Razz

I've been using it for a while now.

-It's fast.
-It's lightweight.
-It's powerful.
-It's expandable.
-It's simple. :p

AIM Triton is looking slow, clunky, and complex. Not my kind of messenger Razz

I am using Trillian, but its pain in the neck for voice chat. Since the Yahoo has upgraded to voice to "Call" my Trillian stopped working though I am using latest version.

Any other multiple clinet SW for IMs that can be good for voice as well as Webcams?

Personally, I beleive that game works better, as for chatting, but trillian is more sleek and pretty, lol.

I used Miranda when it first came out and enjoyed it for the most part. Though for whatever reason found myself not using it anymore, maybe out of habit.

Anyway I tried the AIM beta, wow did it suck. It's all for looks and I will probably leave my AIM account (of over 5 years) to the cyber-dust.

by **BlueFusionX** on Sun Dec 11, 2005 8:53 pm

Lol is that supposed to be sarcastic? I think the official aim client and gaim are the best.

by **Prototype** on Sun Dec 11, 2005 10:07 pm

The official AIM client is just ad-ware.
I installed it on a Windows box a few years ago and hated it. I haven't even considered trying it on my Linux machine for reasons previously stated.
