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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hey. New board.

Oh, wow, Pidgin is very clearly a cousin to Adium, my favorite ever IM program (Mac only). I didn't know about that! now I know what I'll be recommending to my Windows/Linux friends...

Is there a way I can convert an mp3 to a WMA file?

Nevermind. I fixed my problem another way.

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

Maybe it should be pointed out that this malware prompts you to ask if you want to install it (pretending to be a video codec). Unlike much Windows malware, which can infect just by going to a website (if your computer is not up to date with patches).
