Try either Trillium or Adium.

Just fyi, you can also use multiple accounts with just the messages app that 
comes with the mac.

Pretty sure it good, at least on the receiving end of things. I know it can 
record and send voice messages just like it can on iOS.

 All I would say is that there may be some cleaning apps which are 
 glorified delete keys that remove applications and depending on your 
 memory and swap size this may help if you free up more space for swap.
Another thing I’ve noticed is there are some utilities out there that 
 will clean up the filesystem but I’ve always been skeptical of these since 
 the Mac uses a much more modern filesystem that as you said should adjust 
 as it’s in use.  It does slow though though.  When I was using rotating 
 drives I would backup and restore periodically because the disks would 
 crawl.  Think god this is gone in the Flash drives.

 So my 2 cents here is primarily based off of that knowledge. Generally 
 speaking anything that you might consider “junk” has the 
 potential to be an incredibly useful resource. Mac was designed off of an 
 operating system called unix. Unix had the job of running on highly 
 sophisticated servers for long periods of time. The whole purpose from the 
 ground up was to make sure that “junk” never even got written to your hard 
 drive.
 
Apple has worked very hard to make sure that those ideals stay true, so 
 “junk” doesn’t ever exist unless you as the user try very hard to put it 
 there. I personally wouldn’t ever pay to have a tool “clean” a machine 
 that was already clean. These tools (as far as the mac is concerned) 
 aren’t preventative nor are they able to solve any serious issues. The

What is the best multi messenger client for the mac?

All I would say is that there may be some cleaning apps which are 
glorified delete keys that remove applications and depending on your 
memory and swap size this may help if you free up more space for swap.
Another thing I’ve noticed is there are some utilities out there that 
will clean up the filesystem but I’ve always been skeptical of these 
since the Mac uses a much more modern filesystem that as you said 
should adjust as it’s in use.  It does slow though though.  When I was 
using rotating drives I would backup and restore periodically because 
the disks would crawl.  Think god this is gone in the Flash drives.

Generally speaking anything that you might consider “junk” has the 
potential to be an incredibly useful resource. Mac was designed off 
of an operating system called unix. Unix had the job of running on 
highly sophisticated servers for long periods of time. The whole 
purpose from the ground up was to make sure that “junk” never even 
got written to your hard drive.


Apple has worked very hard to make sure that those ideals stay true, 
so “junk” doesn’t ever exist unless you as the user try very hard to 
put it there. I personally wouldn’t ever pay to have a tool “clean” a 
machine that was already clean. These tools (as far as the mac is 
concerned) aren’t preventative nor are they able to solve any serious 
issues. The moral of the story is just don’t worry about it. If your 
mac starts running slowly take it to somebody that knows what they’re 
doing, otherwise trust the system.


Unlike windows there’s no such thing as a “defragmenter” or “cleaner” 
that just magically makes things run better. It’s also (in my 
experience) not necessary to restart your mac very often because 
again, if a problem exists there isn’t some magical fix to that 
problem. The mac is a system that in general, doesn’t produce issues, 
but those that it does produce are more serious.

 It does even more then clean junk, too, so take some time to

Re: messengers

[Nicolai Svendsen]

Hi!

For your information, Adium does in fact work with IRC. Just use the events. 
It's perfectly usable. Of course, also keep in mind that your criticisms of how 
Adium handles IRC may be based on a full-featured IRC client, and Adium is not 
that much. It's a chat client built to handle many services quickly and 
efficiently, and not to support every single feature of that service. If you 
look at it from that perspective, IRC does actually work really well.

As for IRC clients, there are a lot of choice, and some very well-done clients 
that work extremely well and have the features you'd want. I contacted the 
developer of a client called MacIRSSI to let him know about the accessibility 
that already exists within the client, except speech output. While you can pipe 
the output to something like eSpeak, not everyone may know how to do that and 
if you just wish to get onto IRC, you may not want to use eSpeak anyway.

Nic

Re: messengers

[Eric Oyen]

Adium is your program of choice.
I primarily use it for icq and facebook. it supports a number of other chat 
protocols including yahoo, google talk, bing, etc). also, you will end up 
installing growl. that is a side program designed to make programs (like adium) 
a lot more accessible (I use it with skype).

However, you don't need to have growl active with adium, but it certainly helps.

I personally use iChat, though there are a few folks on the list that
use Aanother program.  iChat supports AOL and Jabber protocols, so
that means that it also supports facebook and google chat.

messengers

[Damon Fibraio]

OK, so I realize that I can do mail on my mac, but what can I do about
accessing aol or msn messengers on the Mac. Here's my deal.

 

Been using a MacBook pro for a while, mostly booting into win xp using
bootcamp. Well, kind of think I am stupid for doing this, and figured that
maybe it's time to learn mac osx leopard. So, going to remove the bootcamp
partition, at least I think I may do that, not entirely sure, and want to
make sure I can still get on msn or aol. I think there's a program called
adium, but not sure. Haven't gotten very far into this. So, any help you can
give me would be huge. Thanks.
