Re: Thinkin bout DLing an IM program
I have AOL Instant Messenger (AIM).
PROS: When someone IM's you it flashes the tab on the taskbar, in the bottom right corner, when someone IM's you, it pops up down there so you can read it without stopping what you're doing to read it, you can set it so that it automatically signs you on when your computer goes on (you can turn that off), and if you're logged in and at a site, say like ZU, in the bottom right corner of the screen it will tell you how many e-mails you have.
CONS: When logging in it automatically opens your internet and opens a page that is your "dashboard" which you can make a profile on, and also when IM'ing more than one person at a time, it uses the same window and just tabs the messages, which can sometimes lead you to typing the wrong thing in the wrong box, and of course you have to make a completely new E-mail address, unless it's already at AOL.com or AIM.com.
So what do you think?
