As far as I know you have to download Adium from the web. If you google for it the first result should be the download page. It is hosted on Sourceforge so make sure you get it from there. In any case this is a free mac application and by the way I actually like Adium now. All those years ago it turned out I had Adium to speak when a contact returns from idle and away, hence it saying connected then shortly after become active. It's a shame you can't preview what will be spoken unlike events that play a sound where the sound is played as soon as the action is in focus. Regards Chris Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof!
