maybe i should switch to trillian :(

hmm, i found Trillian's interface a bit awkward to use... *shrug*

there's another program called JabberIM, i've never used it personally, but the interface looks much likes AIM and it looks clean cut ;)

if there are other AIM/MSN/ICQ/etc programs out there, let us know

[edit]

hehe, i guess it would be good to include a link for JabberIM..

This exploit is a nasty one. AOL is supposed to have the hole plugged up within 48-72 hours on their side.

The group didn't get any response from AOL through an e-mail during the holiday week, he said, so w00w00 released details – and a program that takes advantage of it – to public security mailing lists less than a week later


Sure sounds like aol to me

o chit we have a major security flaw
