Is there an alternative?
So far the only IM service I have used is Yahoo, and it's crap. It crashes at least twice a day; it can't cope with a sentence of more than about five words; and the video is jerky and sometimes useless.
Does anyone know how reliable the alternative IM services are? I'd pay good money for a service I could rely on. thain

I use MSN messenger, it has most of the same features as yahoo, as well as some extras...
Alternatively, you can try downloading a program like Miranda or Trillian, which allow you to access yahoos servers with a differnt program, so you can talk to the same people without having to use yahoo messenger.

Thank you for the suggestion. I had wondered what Trillian did? Now I know.
 How stable have you found MSN? Yahoo IM crashes about twice a day here, although everything else on this machine is rock solid. Can you leave MSN running 24/7 and still find it working a week later?
