IM:2 Many

There's way too many instant messenging programs out there. Which ones do you use? I'm still pro ICQ, but so many are switching to MSN (and I do like the fact that MSN loads faster since I don't keep history for my MSN.) But there's still AOL, Yahoo etc. Why can't people just stay on one thing??? I know there's all in one programs like Miranda out there, but they're buggy... Anyway, I'm done bitching. I saw The Aviator yesterday and so far, I'm pleased with their accuracy (I've upgraded the movie to okay from crappy due to this fact), although the movie could have been edited much better. I read up on Howard Hughes when I got home and I'm surprised by how much impact his company and its people had - from DirecTV to Apache helicoptors. But then again, this area used the same people - Arrow engineers went to NASA, etc. Guess rocket scientists were in demand at the time huh... But yeah, SO FAR I couldn't really find spots in the movie that were incorrect, so yeah, that's a plus on my list. (Although I haven't found anything on PanAm being bed buddy with the senator.) I just felt parts of the movie were needlessly dragged out and repeated. Ah well, I'm sort of glad I watched the movie - it made me read up on this Howard Hughes dude. Much better than watching some crap Nicolas Cage :D

[Edit] Well, nvm as apparently some of the events in the movie didn't happen in the right time/timeline, so some events never happened at all as portrayed in the movie. Maybe this will soon be added to the list below...

true there are too many IM programs out there. I use trillian - you can use it for AIM, yahoo, MSN, ICQ , and IRC.

Or gaim - open source thing that does the same things as trillian and has more plugins i think.
