lol if you were American as a teen and chatted on aim instead of the clearly superior MSN

the worst part of using msn was this one chick i knew had webtv, and messenger on that service hid contact emails and only showed your custom name so every time i changed my name i got HEY WHO IS THIS messages

i did get a couple of dates using messenger programs :)

ahhh i found out what that spergy multi-protocol chat client i hosed around with was, miranda IM! apparently it's still actively developed, last release in january :psyduck:

i recall it was loved by goons and windows customization fetishists (you know, the sort who spent hours tweaking their samurize setup. or wasn't there a goon-made alternative to that?). i also recall it being bare-bones to the point of uselessness.

yeah it's open sauce. i had the same experience using it, super barebones out of the box but with tons of little tweaks. i probably just said "heh" and went back to trillian
