Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Thanks!

Thrive to spite them

I'm getting a new monitor for Christmas, is there a big difference between brands or is one just as good as another? Right now I have a 15" CRT monitor and I'm looking at getting a 19" LCD.

OK, what's the good AIM-type program for windows? Need something on my work computer here, but can't remember what the preferred program is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like Trillian.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

when in Windows, I second Trillian. Good multi-chat.

Awesome, thanks--I've used Trillian before, I just haven't had a PC in so long, I only remember Adium for my Mac! Have it now, yay.

Hey. New board.

I have heard a lot of good things about Miranda for Windows IMing too. Not that I've tried it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Trillian! Though it can be resource-heavy.
