[ale] messenger

[Michael Still (mikes)]

I'm a little late to jump on the boat here, but I just installed the
Crossover app last night and noticed that it had support for Trillian.  I
loaded it and it came up great.  I use it for icq/aim/y! but not msn,
although it is supported.  Oh and it does irc.  

Trillian: http://www.trillian.cc/
Crossover: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/

Yes Trillian is named from Trillian from h2g2

Which means you have to get a M$ passport, which means you're giving 
away your privacy to Microsoft.  Nope, not for me.  I'd tell my friend 
to go to another service.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen to FM, why
doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
