I use AIM w/ DeadAIM 4.1. Works great.

Beta 2? Hmm, I think I only have beta 1.
I've been a loyal trillian user since the .6x days.
My sister swears by dead aim.

I like and use Trillian and Easy Messenger when I am multi-tasking like mad as it uses so little in resources.

I use AOL's IM and Yahoo's IM for convenience, because most people use one or the other. I prefer Yahoo..it's fun, and the video stuff, etc. are kind of cool. But Im sure the others above are better, particularly for file sharing.

ICQ is my favorite.

Erm...I hate to say this, but MSN. All of my 'contacts' use it, so I have no reason to use anything else.

I use all the originals. Mainly because no one messenger has EVERY single feature.

Don't use messenger too much but when I do its icq.

Trillian, but IM networks are kinda dead as far as I'm concerned. My Trillan client's only activity these days is when it executes the "Spam Challenge".

I use trillian just because .... I do.
Sometimes I use AIM w/DeadAIM 3 whatever it was. The newer one kept asking me for a registration code. It got annoying.

I use GAIM because i can connect to all of the networks mentioned above plus those cool Jabber networks. I used to use Trillian but I fell in love with GAIM when I started using Linux.

i used gaim... but i wanted to use more plug-ins, and couldn't, and since i could only find linux instructions for adding more plugin's, i decided "ehh, screw it" and went back to aim 4.7. whatever... it was the last aim before 5... i use myim with it to log convos and hide buttons/ads.

Heh! Nice!
If I have to use a messenger I just use plain ole Yahoo IM. Does the job fine when I need it to.

mirc xircon yahoo messenger
icq if i have to
trillian is evil *takes up so friggin much memory* blah
but um o well.
i dont like aol instant messenger and msn messenger only for one reason if your friends are not online you cant leave them an offline message. that kind of defeats the purpose for a messenger.
i like pager *yahoo messenger* it has this offline feature so i can leave messages for my friends if there online.
i know if they didnt have this feature with yahoo messenger i would use icq because icq has this feature.
what sucks up not leaving offline messages is that you have to email your friends. i hate doing email.
but this is a plus for a messenger program.
just my opinion. and besides the offline feature is nice, u get greeted with offline messges and stuff.
but i do love aol that program is nice to bad i dont use it much.
but mirc is just as good too. bye

I use AIM w/ DeadAIM, not sure which version, whatever it was that I got off Kazaa and MSN Messenger cause that is what all my friends are on. I know like a whole two people on Yahoo Messenger and noone on Mirc or ICQ.

I used to use just about all of them, now all I have left is MSN, and that's rarely on.
