Thread: Free Fun Downloads!

I must fully endorse Pidgin. I love it to death as much as goatse loves Astra. I found Astra to be lacking in features such as assigning a multitude of sn's different status'. Pidgin lets you make a status and give fifteen different sn's a different status if you want, right down to the message. However you cannot use any video or cams with pidgin, which sucks, but you can sendreceive files. Anything related to video I use YIM and MSN. I refuse to install AIM on any PC.
