I think you'll find a lot of people use Trillian instead of msn.

I have been a Trillian user for quite some time and was happy. Then I kept being nagged by MSN to upgrade to 6.0. "Oh all right" I said. Only to find out that the new msn messenger doesn't work with Trillian. However......I am quite impressed by 6.0! Shock, horror! Clean looks, very easy file transfer and the voice comms are outstanding. Squ0nk and I had a long conversation this morning and it was as clear as a proverbial bell. Aint that right Squ0nk? Back me up on this.
So now I use ICQ (sans adverts) and Messenger seperately.
It just occured to me that you might not realise that Trillian simply take MSN, ICQ, IRC, BBC and ITV all in one package. (Sorry if you did realise  :) )

Oh yes, of course it's ok if the workplace (I use the term lightly) is picking up your bill. What, what?

(a) I have no idea what you are on about - so tell me where ID is and I'll check it out - AFAIAA I appear with my name up, so that's sufficient fo rme.

(B) I only ever load Trillian when I need IRC, usually only for clan matches, so don't expect me to find online with Triallian at other times.
