At least for aol, gaim seems to works fine, and for yahoo, you can use galeon since using the old c++ libs allowed the java plugin to work. I had personally never used this application, so I felt sorry last week-end to realize I should have felt like trying it a month before. A public QA test plan might have helped here. I know how boring it sounds. =o= kk1 PS: I would tend to disagree about the influence of the market share. It looks like the bigger, the less you care. At least in the OS market, the big m does not give me the impression of being flawless.
