yes, i realize this, but when i was in windoze, i got hooked up to ICQ,
and that is how i keep in contact with all my friends, sister, fellow
LAN users, etc...  it is incredibly helpful, and i really enjoy it... i
dont really care how easy it is to impersonate others (like in Licq) or
how secure it is...  i do'nt use it for really serious stuff...just
keepin in contact...

anyway, any ideas on which is the "best"?
