What instant messenger program do y'all recommend as a catch-all (specifically for MSN messenger and AIM) for Windows? Was using Adium on the Mac, just got a work (windows) laptop to use while mine is being fixed, and want to know what program to get...
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I hear good things about Trillian.
I don't use it myself, though. Don't need any other clients for work and don't run Windows at home.
Edit: Exact X-Post

I also use Trillian at work.

Gaim or Miranda. Trillian's too bloated these days for my tastes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I shelled out for Trillian a year or so ago. I do like it, but I have to admit I like Adium more, and I usually IM from my Mac these days.

Hmm. Yeah, I'm not loving Trillium. I may have to try Gaim...
(But look! I'm online! At home! on my work laptop! So exciting)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I prefer Adium to Trillian when I'm chatting at home. And Trillian will sometimes have problems connecting to Jabber protocols. But on the whole I haven't had any problems with it.

We use Gaim at work. However, just FYI, Jabber on Gaim is on crack.
