Just do a google search for it as I believe it was an odd website.

Re: When will you quit using AIM?
Jake,
Gaim is free, as I said, I dont how it compares to Trillian. But Gaim works quite well for me since I dont sue all the neat little features that bloat the messenger programs. I use it to talk to people, period. Gaim is pretty good in that it doesnt take up much of your system resources and it is very stable.

[/ QUOTE ]   - it looks/feels like a native windows app and doesn't use custom widgets - no integrated spyware/media viewers/etc - interface can be stripped to the bone - good native smilies - winks are cool - the ability to 'paint' a message with builtin ms paint basically - automatic display of previous chat when you open a chat window for context

Re: When will you quit using AIM?
It depends on how much you get bugged.
I use to be attached at the hip to IM'ing. My ICQ # is in the low 6 figures if that's any indication of how long... [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] ...But it got to a point that I spent more time answering PC questions on IM that I had to cut the cord. Once it starts, I'm not sure age plays into it. I think if you are the type of person that likes to talk, you will have some form of IM open on your PC forever.
