There's nothing wrong with ICQ - just didn't do well for me in the development environment.

Who knows why - some of my installed programs didn't jive with ICQ, or I just need a better box - ( sounds good - do ya think my boss will go for that?? It may be worth a shot! )

I have no problems with it at home, just got away from using it. Actually -- I still have it installed here. May just dig it up and put it to use again.

I, also, never had any security problems, just crashing into oblivion. Never happened again after I uninstalled ICQ.
