Thanks for the info. Yeah, I've been aware of Trillian and it's uses...I would use it except I'm only an AIM user, so the multiple accounts don't really appeal to me. The thing is with AIM is that if you are paying the extra 15 per year you get the 1024 bit encryption which is more secure and private. So the question is, does anyone use it regularly, or think it's a worthwhile investment?
