Hello to every reader.
I have not used chat (messaging) clients for years, and I hardly remember anything about it.
But recently I have to install one. To cut the story, I need a small, compact, (no bloatware!) and yet functional client which can use both MSN and ICQ networks. Support for other networks is not necessary.
The reason why I insist that the client must be "small" is because I intend to install it on old PC. Specs: Dual Pentium Pro 200MHz (not yet dual
, 128MB RAM, Windows NT4 SP6.
I have set up a very neat software configuration, with no bloat-ware, shiny-XP-graphics-ware and other modern, XP-era programs in it. I intend to keep it that way.
So, which one would you recommend me (and which version)?
I have read a lot of positive opinions about Trillian. When I went onto OldVersion's download section, I only could download versions 0.xx (around 2MB each) and version 3.0 which has fatten up to 9 megs.
Where are versions 1.x and 2.x?
Are these 0.7x versions okay? Are they functional or not? Which version (0.x, 1.x or 2.x) would be the best?
