I would suggest just getting an old version of AIM without all of the bullshit, and use that instead. Or have they made old versions incompatible?

Most likely they just assume anyone not using Pidgin by now will tolerate any bullshit.

It's free, go get it.

I like how it looks.

Compared to Trillian, it looks like a work of art.

If you like pretty messengers, try bitlbee or centericq, also multiprotocol :)

I assume that you are referring to the child's artwork found on most household refrigerators.

Weird, I still think Pidgin looks better.

Each to their own!
