Back down again. Not sure where their servers are, but Santa Monica is their HQ and another site from the general area I visit regularly is having severe issues as wells so may be the annual brown outs doing major havoc. Why do companies set up shop in locations that lose power each summer for days at a time or have to be evacuated every hurricane season?

Personally I use Trillian .74 F, But I am toying with the idea of going with 2.0 Pro after the holidays. The main reason I fell for the program after running across it is it allows me to do all the main things the other IM Progs do without all the bells and whistles. I have been with AOL since shortly after getting a home PC in the mid 90s and the one thing that always peeved me about them was they added all these useless toys that only slowed down the system. I have only been using Trillian for at most 6 months, but everytime a problem has popped up they had it fixed asap. In fact I can not remember the name of the other multi-messenger program, but they gave Cerulean Studios props for not only beating them to making the patch, but giving them the patch for the initial Yahoo/MSN problem. As long as Trillian still works I will be using it and continue telling anyone I can about how great it is.
