Why 5? X-Chat is open source (although the full version of the build on the main site isn't free for Windows, there are plenty of free builds) and far more advanced in terms of IRC features than GAIM is.

I just tried out and bought Smart Draw it really good thanks for the recordation I don’t think network diagramming looks as good as in ConceptDraw’s NetDiagrammer but it’s still very good in pretty much everything else.

It's quite alright :)

I use it for network diagrams occasionally, but it's got so much functionallity other than that.

I use it for flow-charting programs and circuits before I begin writing / designing them. I've used it absolutely loads for my college work. Making GANTT charts and all sorts of things.

Nice to see another Electronics Workbench user :)

[Sparda]

Windows Messenger (man it blows, but unfortunately everyone else uses it, so i must use it to communicate, i WILL NOT install that bloody adware-filled crap MSN Messenger)

How about the open source port (which isn't made by Microsoft) aMSN? The interface is virtualy identical, and has the same functionality (as far as I am aware), is cross platform and has other features such as contact Aliasing (good for getting rid of peoples stupidly long names).

[VaKo]

aMSN looks interesting. But you can just hack live messanger to be crap free.
