no trillian for MAC but you might want to try one of these ZERO cost clients some with more features than trillian:
GAIM
http://gaim.sourceforge.net/FIRE
http://fire.sourceforge.net/not free:
Proteus 3

I would suggest using the free version rather than pro for this though, since the menus in pro won’t work in these conditions.
Perhaps a mod could merge this with the original thread?
Edit: I’ve just read your posts on the “alternative IM apps” board, and I see now you’re just a spammer who seems to have a grudge against trillian for some reason. Maybe a mod’s time would be better spent just deleting your account and banning your IP.

I was just adding it as a suggestion (this is the trillian forum after all ;)), I wasn’t saying it’s necessarily the best option. I know of people that do it and even some that say the only reason they still use Windows is to keep using Trillian, so there must be important differences. I must admit I don’t really know what they are, since I’ve hardly used *nix on my computer… I totally hate linux :p.
From what I’ve seen of the linux builds GAIM though, trillian would seem to be a better option for the hardcore IMer (although trillian does admittadly have less media). If I was using linux I think I would go for GAIM too, since trillian free isn’t that much better and like I said Pro doesn’t work properly. I guess it depends where your priorities lie.
