Remember when icq could message aim users though? That was so badass.
remember trillian? or pidgin was it called? you could message every service.
that was badass.
Both. Trillian was not Mac only (I made a mistake from memory), Pidgin was multi platform but started on Linux. Pidgin had every protocol. I still keep my .purple config folder and logs after over a decade. Not like I'll ever read the logs again, though.
Edit: Guys, relax. I made a mistake recounting from memory. I didn't run Windows back then. I assumed that because of the native Aqua interface, there wasn't a Windows port.
I remember having Trillian on Windows way back when.
I'll have you know I did go back and read my logs from like 2008. I think I cringed so hard I never recovered. You might have saved yourself by not looking at yours!
