AIM alternatives: did they ever get better?

But seriously, bitlbee. I do all of my instant messaging, chat, and even sometimes web browsing through Putty on a Screen instance running on a remote linux machine, it's awesome.

why do that when you have a perfectly good computer sitting in front of you
 
:lol:
pidgin is the newer version of gaim
they changed the name because AIM is copyrighted by aol (i think)
o...k...

Not exactly sure what I said that was :lol:-inducing. I know it used to be gaim and then became pidgin, as I said I was using ubuntu at the time and when I updated gaim I discovered it was pidgin.

But yeah, I now am using it. It's nicer than the old gaim I remember.
