Best Instant Messaging clients?
Can everyone interested recommend thier favorite IM client?
I have been using MSN messenger, but it seems to not act well with ZAPro, but i love its low memory usage (Trillian seems to use more than twice as much memory). So far i've used Trillian free, and MSN Messenger. Thanks all

I like GAIM, it can do lots of different networks including IRC, MSN, Yahoo and AIM.

oh yeah, it should support mutliple types of accounts, like WhatsThisBoxFor? mentioned, and also use a low amount of memory.
btw, thanks for that suggestion

Sorry I forgot to give you a link, here it is, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/
I find that it is very good and doesn't have some of the annoying features others have, like displaying everyone who is offline. |

I use the paid Trillian 2.0+ - it's working well (besides the periodic crashes), and I like it a lot. It's a little on the hard side to use, though - sometimes, you need to fiddle around with it for a while until you get used to it
. When Trillian crahses, I use the older freeware version of Dead AIM.kram

Welcome back DilLy, long time no see.
