The ads in AIM can be easily hacked out anyway... IIRC, it simply involves deleting three lines of text.
Ditto with ICQ, except it also involves using a resource editor on the ICQCore.dll file. Run a search on everybody's favorite search engine to find out exactly how, I don't feel like looking it up again 
I ended up using Trillian a while ago because I actually use all five mediums... In my hometown, ICQ is the de facto IM program. I have many friends from other parts of PA, where overall, AIM is the de facto choice. In California, it seems to be split evenly between AIM and Yahoo. And finally, MSN is pretty much the fastest growing medium, since Micro$oft pushes it on all their MSN internet Subscribers (which happens to be the fastest growing ISP among those who don't know any better). And IRC I've been using since around 1997, on and off... and I usually don't feel like loading up mIRC, so I just use the one already in Trillian.

Re: Do you use Trillian?
I don't use Trillian (I had to look up what it was) but then I don't use any kind of IM program, not even (?) ICQ: haven't actually found a need for one.
Then again I don't use a mobile phone much, and I've never sent a text message on one. I've never had a PDA or palmtop and I don't own a calculator (there's a ruddy great big one on my desk, you know!). Somehow I seem to be able to manage without.
Steve.

You'd be amazed how much Trillian has cut my long distance charges....

Re: Do you use Trillian?
Yeah, trillian for me is a godsend. Hometown, its ICQ, college is AIM, MSN is like 2 people, and yahoo I cant get to work anyhow. IRC Ive never used

Re: Do you use Trillian?
ICQ used to be big in my circle of friends. It died down like a bit over a year ago. AIM is used when I turn it on. I always forget to turn that one on. MSN is what we all use around here now. Never have used Yahoo that much. There for awhile I used it a bit but not much. And IRC I've never used either.
