Thanks Gary, my kids use it a lot because it allows the use of the web cam unlike Messenger.

I don't mind the basic messenger but it is better for the extra stuff, I just send vid emails to friends but I tried this and it works well, there are rumours of a MSN messenger 8 with video and audio, but the implementation is bad as it is, so clones are the best way, this one is so like the real one its amazing

Don't think that does videochat on MSN does it?

Ah, woops. Adium is a much nicer looking application. It's a shame they can't smarten aMSN up a bit.

The new version looks just like windows live messenger Sebby, nothing wrong with that  :)

I don't mean that, I mean it doesn't look very Mac. It's all square and horrible. :P

I'm not into the  "looks very Mac" bit Sebby, functionality over looks is more important to me, also you can skin it if you want, looks are not everything and trying to keep to a theme when I could use a webcam and audio, or use Adium and miss out on many of the features I need, well that's just silly  ;)
