Dood...that's ancient...

Of course the fact that I can still remember mine 1182766 is sad...

The new Windows Live Messenger is ok but I've had a few times where it just bugs out and crashes, although what Microsoft app doesn't?

Anyone have a way to get rid of that damn advert bar at the bottom of the main WLM window?

...or that society kills technology. The downside of standardization is that sometimes the better technology (Beta, ICQ, BluRay???) loses.

it did everything u needed an IM to do and more than what some IM's do today at minimal memory expense. not to mention that some of its security exploits were teh funnay i.e. spoofing messages heh ..

No, but it IS for the search function... type in letters from a contact's email addy or that would be in their current name, and it auto eliminates all other contacts that dont conform to your search criteria thus far... I have a MASSIVE msn list, and even though its still grouped into like 6 different categories, and even though I have offline and mobile contacts separated out from my online ones, I still have a millions names to often scroll through if im trying to find a particular person to msg. Its not that scrolling for the person is overly hard or difficult, but this way is quicker and easier and saves a good several seconds, which is a VERY nice feature, esp once u get used to it!!

And, also, some ppl who really switch up their msn names all the time are hard to track down till u figure out what their new variation is (sometimes there is no constant or consistent factor to their msn name to give u a hint), so if u even know a portion of their email addy, they're tracked down IMMEDIATELY. Its really nice.
