I don't understand why downloading an IM client has to be such a big deal. Just pick the one most people you know use.

Well for one thing if you plan on actually downloading the program and not using a website, some things to consider are storage. With my '98 It'll run aim perfectly fine with no bugs or kinks in it. MSN, on the other hand, will first go through the slow process of starting up, I'll enter my info to sign in, it'll take forever making me feel hopeful, tell me to troubleshoot the darn thing, go on through that for a good 10 minutes, try signing in again, and then pretty much destroy the wireless internet, or crash my computer. However MSN was feeling that day was the response I got from it.
But in the longrun, I prefer MSN over aim because not only is it a little more organized and personal, it doesn't do wacky things to your settings if you push a button wrong.
