With trillian I can use all of the crappy three of them. Seeing how I have no interest in getting an ICQ number.

aim played a large part in me using trillian. Every time it started up, it would hog the screen and force everything to the left. it would move my desktop icons over, resize windows, and was a general pain. i said 'enough of this.'

msn 7 being filled with junk was another reason.

and now I can actually be on y!m.
