Almost like ... Unix, eh?
I will admit it has gotten to the point I suspect the problem with "please reboot" is its unnecessary and is more an indication that the application writer is an idiot

I'm not sure where I'll migrate to for my IM needs though. Is Skype any good? Never considered it before since I avoid VOIP programs like the plague. What about multi-IM programs like Trillian? Is that still any good? All I want is a low memory, small footprint type program with a reasonably appealing to the eyes design to talk to people from my MSN contact list.
I used to use Trillian a lot - I should go take a look. I use Skype for video calls but it keeps getting Bloatier as they keep adding cruft to it.
