I only have Hotmail, because of MSN messenger.

you DON'T need a hotmail address in order to use
msn messenger. you just supply whatever
email account with which you want it to be associated.

as far as safety goes; msn, yahoo, + skype are all
bandwidth "sleeper" applications, especially for windows.

mac users have more leeway because they have
better security. but i still despise msn, yahoo, aim +
skype because they're unnecessarily processor
intensive. so i avoid them all whenever possible.

irc is the way to go... why doesn't mnml have a channel?

windows users : you can condense many of
the various messaging applications into one interface
by using the free [link --->] trillian.

software description wrote:Trillian is a chat client with support for AIM, ICQ, MSN,
Yahoo! Messenger and IRC. It has the ability to login
with multiple AIM/ICQ/MSN/Y! accounts at the same time.
It has a custom, skinned graphical interface using
XML, transparent windows, buddy list integration/importing
among all mediums and many other features.

you can search for + download many freeware
applications, including audio toys [!!!],
exclusive of operating systems at version tracker.

happy leeching!

windows

msn is good for me (i installed aim but never used it) and also opened an hotmail account...i didn't know that i don't need one....

I use MSN and AIM...not really for or against either of them. As long as I can communicate when I need to and turn the programs off when I need to, then it's just peachy

i know, but in the time when i took a msn account it was not possible.... (7 years ago). And i don't want my "normal"mail account attached to MSN messenger.
