A friend just told me about yet ANOTHER interoperable IM program called MaxxChat. It supposedly works with AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger and even IRC (Internet Relay Chat…the grand daddy of chat).
It was written by a single programmer working part time, but has anyone tried it?

I have no clue what this chat is but when you find out Jeff…be sure to let the “mac kiss” know, would you? I will give it a try.
I checked it out, but oh-my-gosh it is s-l-o-w!!! And the other problem is that it has no way (that I could find) to support multiple users on a single PC (like I have here at home where my kids have their own IM accounts).
MaxxChat is interesting, but not worth serious consideration at this time.

thanx Jeff for the reminder. I downloaded Maxxchat back in feb. and never got around to installing it, well I did so, and am kicking myself for not doing so earlier. Sure first day it was slow, zzzzzzzzzz so slow. Day 2 and its colours came through, neat, certainly attractive lotz of extra goodies, I commiserate with mulpiple user setups cos it looks so good and worked well, this program could show the big boys a thing a two about layout and style. And where the hell are the adverts? thankfully missing. I think this one is worth watching. Oh yeah, it works with AIM.
