I don't have an AIM client yet, as I use Yahoo. You probably use iChat, so you don't have to deal with AOL crap (I loathe them ever since they made those bigoted anti-French jokes). Is there any good AIM client you could recommend me other than AOL's client (cross-platform if possible)? I really don't know much about IM clients, as I have rarely used them until now.
Edit: I don't mind using their protocol, as long as I don't get brainwashed like the AOLers after prolonged exposure to AOL paraphernalia.

on most platforms, there's gaim, and Windows has Trillian... it's pretty decent. I know there's others.
versiontracker.com has quite a few. I'd say gaim, though. it seems to be a good cross-platform client

'nuff said.
it's great for servers, but forget it on the desktop

Oh FUCK no, you didn't say that.

give it three years max, and Linux will have a greater desktop market share.

I say Be OS. Coming from Macs, you'll love the UI. It's also faster even than Linux. Easier to install and configure.

No Mac GUI ive ever seen is faster than my linux box with BlackBox.
Oh you are probably referring to KDE or gnome. Since they arent integral parts of linux, they cant be judged as such.

I don't give a fuck about three years in the future, besides, I've been hearing that same tired rhetoric now for ages. Give it up. Home users don't give a fuck about Linux because it doesn't work for them. Make it work for them and they will. I've yet to see any progress.

BlackBox isn't integral, either. And they all ride on X11... and X11 SUCKS ASS. What does it take to get that through?!?
And you've obviously never used any of the older Macs. Let's see your precious Linux haul a full-color GUI around on a 16 MHz 68030
