Wow, I didn't know so many people knew of and used Trillian - cool!

I use it sometimes too, but I don't like the way the hotkeys work .. or rather don't work. You can press CTRL-SHIFT-A to bring it up, but not to bring it back down. WTF? A few things here and there that are annoying about it ... overall it's nice though, and the concept certainly is good.

AOL and MSN (at the same time). Most of my friends use only AOL but my real close friends have both and we use MSN as our back-up for those times when AOL boots us off. :)

I use ICQ 99b on one laptop and on this one I have the 2000 crap. I don't like the 2k version at all. The 99b version would not connect for some reason... :(
Just like AOL, take a good thing and mess it up. Oh for all of the banners on the 2000 crap, got a fix and removed them. :)
PM/ICQ me if you want more info on how to remove the banners.

Trillan, because no one is happy with just one im program. Every bastard has to use a seperate one so it helps keep in order...

MSN Cause it's easy and small. (Don't like the add thingy thou)
Can't wait to get the new WM (Windows Messenger) that comes with WinXP RC1...

I don't like ICQ cause it's too bloated and f*cked up...
...even thou everybody seems to use it.
AIM? AOL? NO WAY!

ICQ (same reason as Noriaki) and WM (Windows Messenger). I like the WM camera feature but it only works on WinXP. The good thing about Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger is that you'll never lost your contact list again.
