I’m with you, AMSN is provably not the best but is the only one who make video calls, for me it’s all matter…

I Use Adium. In addition to MSN it allows for a lot of customization. Check out 5 Must have extras for Adium!

There was no need for a separate mention of Pidgin – their home page itself recommends Adium for OS X.

By: Ben P

Ben P — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 02:18:46 +0000

doesn’t Adium = Pidgin? or do they both just use libpurple…
