Offtopic: You seem to have gone a long way to ensure that you can check you mail from anywhere ;)

... and a long time without a kernel security update :-)

Well, on os x i use http://www.adiumx.com/ (gaim in a cocoa interface) and on Windows i still to this day use http://www.miranda-im.org/, and did do so ever since ICQ clocked the official client with ad's.

The main issue i have with trillian is that is uses so many resources on doing a thing that souldent use any resources, plus the app is just ... well, slow.

But it is really cool that they have gotten the video conference support, i really hope to see a OSS app that can do that. (yes i know of http://gaim-vv.sf.net/ - but it just doesnt work all that well)
