Uh.. NGC, you're allowed to resize that MSN window. You don't have to leave it its default size :P

And rubah, I tried almost all of them, though I think Pidgin used to be GAIM or something else. And it sucked back then. Trillian was pretty awesome, but then they stopped updating it and it lost protocol for Y!M and it still has ICQ which is an annoying waste of space. Nobody in their right mind uses ICQ anymore. Nobody in their right mind should have ever used ICQ. I tried it out just because a couple of people I knew had it, but they were not worth keeping it for xD Odd that its protocol was so similar to AIM's that Trillian just kinda combined the two

Trillian was nice in that it allowed resumable file transfers over MSN. But it was an abomination when it came to AIM and only passable for IRC. Its ease of use and convenience far surpasses mIRC, but its capabilities as an IRC client leave a lot to be desired. Last time I used Trillian it was 2 years outdated. Now it'd probably be something like 6 years outdated, unless someone actually started working on it again

It was very skinnable which was nice. But its font settings were all weird. Which is what made it very retarded over AIM. Highlighting text with color instead of allowing a background color. It lacked the compensation that AIM used to fix the text where retards would put black text over black background

GAIM had most of these problems as well
