    Apart from Miranda which is windows only, nothing else comes close to this. It's simply awesome. The IM to rule them all.
    It's a little on the large side, mainly due to GTK, but it runs off of a USB stick. So no complaints at all really.

    Excellent program, been using this for some time now - never had any real issues except that some buddies don't show as being online when they are. But it's clean low on resources and simple to use.

    The initiative taken for the concern is very serious and needs an attention of everyone. This is the concern which exists in the society and needs to be eliminated from the society as soon as possible.
