I also happen to have some old friends on ICQ, several cousins, friends, and my sister on AIM, and a college roommate on MSN. I've got a pretty quick Windows box, but I tend to stress it pretty much every day. For me, and I suspect this is true of the majority of Trillian users, it comes down to the number of clients running. if you really need IM functionality and don't want to use a commercial service. Don't forget that ICQ was a small company once. IMHO, this is all about a minority of users wanting free beer, and dressing it up in free speech rhetoric. I know this won't happen, but I'm just saying.Īnd as far as the ads go, when I still used IM (before switching to Trillian), I altered my config files so I wouldn't see the ads, anyway.

I know that AOL doesn't like it, but, instead of trying to stomp on Trillian, maybe AOL should notice that lots of users are taking advantage of what Trillian offers, and actually compete with Trillian, by writing software that does a similar thing, and letting the market decide what's going to be used, and what's going to be the Atari 7800. Trillian does what IM does, and it does it better. I mean, when you're watching TV, and a commercial comes on, you usually change the channel, or run to the bathroom, or the kitchen, or something, right? You don't sit there, dutifully watching the advertising, because you feel some obligation to "pay" for your show, right? While I understand the advertising argument, and I think it's valid, to a point, the comparison with network TV doesn't match up for me.
