looking at chat programs - dark seraph - 11-15-2011
So recently my computer died a nasty death (the HD that everything booted off) and recently got it back and started reinstalling everything.
buuut for some reason, I can't seem to get MSN to work unless I install 20 other programs..... so, you guys got any other suggestions for chat programs?
((already got Gtalk, what else can you suggest?)

You can use pidgin: http://www.pidgin.im/
or Digsby: http://www.digsby.com/

A ditto for pidgin.
I use it quite happily and it makes with just about everything I need it to, all rolled up into the one program, and with absolutely no ads, unlike the official clients which usually have some advertisements somewhere in the window.

another chime for pidgin, I have been using it since version 0.5 or so.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

mIRC and Trillian and Yahoo Messenger are my personal chat programs in descending order of preference. Unless you're talking voice... which means I'll have to point that that TeamSpeak program that is currently sitting uninstalled after my computer suffered a minor rollback of oh... 5 months.

mIRC is good, but I dropped Trillian after it started ninja-disconnecting me and putting ads in chats. Never used Yahoo, so I don't have any clue there.
I'll throw my lot in with Pidgin. Open Source for Life!
