A PEAK is something you can climb up and ski down.

PEEK is a glimpse, a furtive glance, a first sighting of something.

You meant PEEK.

To have no editors or writers who can simply not make or even catch such blatant and basic mistakes in the English language is shameful, even if it is now altogether too common everywhere in print these days.

If I were Cybernet News, I would fix this, and send my writers and editors back to fifth grade.

Takes a bit to configure but is lightweight and very efficient. Miranda is a good multi-protocol IM client. Takes a bit to configure but is lightweight and very efficient.

Not a program with all the im services in one. just my 2¢ I tired google talk and the only problem I had was.. all my friends use aim! lol

Other IM's, like Windows Live Messenger, are much too bloated. I also like GoogleTalk for its simplicity. Other IM’s, like Windows Live Messenger, are much too bloated.

I couldn't even figure out how to add a user to my buddy list first time I tried Trillian. :D Maybe I downloaded a bad copy or something or I was just overlooking it. But after I removed it, my friend told me it's right in the file menu:!: I use AIM sometimes (an old version) but mostly I'm on Meebo. I’m with Sidekick on this one.

I would probably start using Gaim if it supported the Google Talk voice chat thing. I don’t use it that much in Google Talk but when I do it is great.

It already does the first one, where by dragging any image to the conversation you can choose to set it as your buddy picture or send it (also works with other files). Plus gaim has a lot of features Trillian doesn't support such as viewing custom MSN smilies.The only problem with Gaim is its blocking features completely suck. Gaim is far better than Trillian.

The only problem with Gaim is its blocking features completely suck.

With all of the "junk" that the new instant messengers have, like "Winks," I had forgotten what the whole point of the program was. With Google Talk I have come to realize that the whole point of using it is to chat...and not to send a Wink or Nudge. :D I used to be an AIM user myself but when Google Talk was released they won me over with their simplicity.
