Fire does a good job of combining a lot of IM services,
but its just the IM part, not the voice or data part.

I still prefer the individual IM programs

That's the problem, I think. They all offer different features to get you. I mean, the Excite Messenger has a ton of cool features, but it's not like many people are on it.

Is there a (free) voice chat program out for OS X, yet? I'm pretty sure AOL hasn't added it in for the OS X version of AIM, yet.

Fire is a great app. But not a substitute to Gerrys ICQ. I still run it in Classic mode because it is the greatest ICQ app for Mac. Sorry I just can't stand the hiddeous look of the official client!! The thing is with fire is that you don't have the specific parts of each service, MSN is complete, because it only has IM. But the ICQ part is missing chat, file transfer and propper list management. Lets all pray that we get an update of Gerrys ICQ for carbon that works better

Question status for icq?

can you change status? I tried a few things on Fire, but people always saw me as "Available". and well, I could just ignore messages, but since I was "available", it kinda pissed some people off...

now I use micq on terminal... yes, the mirabilis or whatever's client is just tooo damn ugly... and God, each message comes in a new window :P

I have Adium 1.2 but the disk image of 1.3 doesn't work.

M$N and Fire

Fire works pretty good for me... but M$N keeps booting me off when I log in with it. Anybody have any ideas on how to connect and stay on so my windoze friends can keep in touch with me?
