I actually like the look of Triton. Using that with Aim Ad-Hack is fine imo.

DeadAim 4.5 + AIM 5.5 ftw

Trillian was pretty good, but I found it somewhat annoying with the lack of profile link clicking for AIM users and it doesn't save your buddy list order on the AIM server, so if you go onto another computer with Trillian, your buddy list is just messed up.

I used to use trillian but it didn't want to connect right for file xfers and seemed to crash alot.

When someone strips down Triton to get some of the functionality out of it and cleans up all the other BS it might be worth it, for now I'm just using Adhack instead.

YUP!

I'm connected to AIM, MSN, and Yahoo, and also have other Trillian plugins loaded, and Trillian is only using 15MB of ram. How is that a resource hog? Buy more ram.
