Bah.. how stupid..

Like Microsoft needs anymore money..

If AIM becomes a pay service.. I'll stick with Yahoo and ICQ.

 

[cmdavid]

if they all start costing money I'll stick w/ bitwise
guarantee you that'll never cost money...

The biggest problem is losing contact with all those people you only talk to through IMs.

 

[IcePhoenix]

Anyone else think that this is only the beginning? I think eventually we will have to pay to use IM services :frown:

Hey hey... indeed, BitWise is out there, and definitely free! If you're looking for a small, easy to use, fast chat client, look no farther! Course, I would know all about it, since I wrote it.

When you log in, message me, my name is just "Kevin". Cya online! And bring your friends!

 

[Ameesh]

there will be a free version too

 

[KevinMU1]

I think the suggestion is that even though the free version remains... for now... how long until it's no longer free?

 

[yakko]

I will stick with AIM.
