Let us again praise great software
Today's honoree: Gaim.
See, there's this annoying thing going on in the online world. Many, many chat clients, many networks, many protocols.
For us consulting types, this frequently means: Client A likes Yahoo. Client B likes AIM. They'd all kinda like you to be around on chat, now and then... So you could wind up with a lotta crap running behind the firewall you'd rather wasn't there. Many little bits of software by many occasionally shifty organizations, many of them either not much into security or not much into jes' being plain polite about things.
Enter Gaim. Gaim does all the major protocols, all the major networks, all in one client. And it's open-source, so there's no nagging ads, no silly chrome, no spyware, none of that rot. Just connectivity.
Chat, fundamentally, is an evil. But a necessary evil, in my biz. (Holds up product, smiles for camera)... With Gaim, at least, it's that little bit less evil. Download your copy today.
