You'll be back MSNwar. I tried Trillian Pro and didn't like it at all.

[ymchan]

When I use Trillian Pro, my MSN'ers are seeing me online and offline every 5 mintues or so. Any ideas why?

[sedative]

because trillian is junk.

making your own messenger client... all you need is an understanding of programming in Visual Basic and Winsock.. quite easy..

[gamehead200]

Why do you want to switch clients? MSN is ok for me cuz I just talk w/ friends on it...

[MSNwar]

Why switch? I don't like its popularity among advertisers, hackers, and lamers. Everytime I turn around there is another pop-up ad, or some id*** that p***es me off so bad I want to fry his CPU (and I can), or some lamer that wants to challenge me to a game.

It seems that Trillian is cool.
