miranda im?

well ive been experimenting with a new multi-protocal chat client

for those losers of you that dont know what that is it is a chat program such as aim or msn live messanger however since its multi-protocla it can connect to many differnt protocals at the same time

say you have an aim acctount a yahoo account and a msn one as well what do you do use 3 differnt pices of software...

ha noooo!!!!! you use 1 special pice that does it all

there are lots of pieces of software that do this such as trillian and gaim however each of them have ups and downs such as trillians crazy resource usage but it also have a very pretty gui that you can theme yourself...kinda?

and gaim on the other hand has almost the opposite it runs on a nice comfertable 25megs of ram which isnt so bad however has little or no theme support unless your very fammiler with gtk

and since most people dont even know what that is ill just assume you dont anyways

well miranda im incorprates a very small footprint like 10megs of ram(less then half of gaim) and also has support for a 100% themeable/sinnable gui...you can literly make it anyway you want it

it is beautiful in its own sence because people make it look beautiful to them or match there currnent theme for there pc they have now.....

it runs smooth and has an array of plugins for it so that you can do just about anything you want...

this being said there are bugs...

it is not as well devloped as clients like trillian and hasent been around as long as gaim...

however this client i have noticed has a lot less bugs in it then gaim and is acctualy a lot easyer to use (mostly because you can configure the gui however you want)..

the overall score that miranda has on www.betanews.com is a 4.6/5 which in my expeiance is a good score...

however if i were to score this myself a 5 it would get from me.... i love it best chat client ive ever used...

another thing ive noticed in my extensve time reviwing apps is that the smaller an app is (I.E. mirandas install file is 1.9 megs) the better the program usualy is

so i sugesst you check it out and if not miranda check out gaim or even trillian

have fun with this one
