How is trillian?

[jEct2]

I want to use MSN & AIM together.. but I wonder if it'd be better than using Middleman's AIM.

Middleman's AIM has complete ad blocking + history log.

How is trillian in this case? Can I still use direct connect?

 

[aniepras]

I'v never had a problem with trillian.

Pro's : All in one
Con's : Most of the skins are teh sukc.

It's a resource hog.

 

[BillGates]

it's great - I've used it for probably 3-4 years and love it.

 

[BillGates]

to answer your questions - there are no ads, direct connect works, it has a history/log feature

 

[jEct2]

can i uninstall MSN/AIM afterwards or do they work off of trillian?

They're completely seperate.

As with any other piece of software, learn WTF you're doing with it and how to use it before bitching that it sucks. Trillian rocks, if you're paying attention.

Gaim doesn't have *nearly* the number of features and available mods/bonuses that Trillian does.

I used it for a while, then reformatted and never re-installed.

I can't be bothered to pay for it.

You don't have to pay for Trillian Basic. The Trillian site tells you this and also tells you the differences between basic and pro.

probably true but not everyone needs their IM program to clean their house and give them a happy ending. i like mine to sit quietly in the taskbar until i need it and not take up resources.

There is actually a member named bill gates here? After 4 years I found you.

I've never had a problem with Trillian, but I'm not fussy that way, as long as it works. The smileys are somewhat sexually explicit though.

What resources?

 

[neutralizer]

Been using trillian for a long time. Love it.

Doesn't take up that much memory.

 

[scorpmatt]

used trillian since a friend of mine found it, awesome program, each new upgrade (after the betas) have been better than the first, with more addons and the like.
