I am back. Florida was fun, but I am worn out. Props to everyone - Albert is cool. Adam is an author.

I am evaluating Trillian after a request to use MSN Messenger. I spent so long trying to remove that ubiquitous program from my computer that I no longer consider it a valid option. So Trillian it is. I haven't had much luck with third-party messaging programs. There was that little fiasco with Miranda IM a while back, and before that I had tried an early release of Trillian and found it to be very awkward.

Something has changed since then, because Trillian 3.1 is great. Multiple logins and contact lists, automatic e-mail checking (for screen names linked to e-mail accounts), and just a real sweet look to everything. Anyway, more updates as events warrant.
