Jihad agains ICQ

16 replies · 2,797 views · Started 09 December 2002

K, strong words, but in reality I'm just a tad anoyed that I tried downloading its software and it made Windows have to re-install. Now I have to spend time re-configuring everything, my bookmarks are in alphabetical order(I prefer it as I use the sites from most to least), and several other things.

To be short, I'm mad. I can't wait to see what else I need to reinstall or whatever 🙄

It's quite the queer little prog indeed.... If you want a new messaenger I suggest "Trillian" it's Mirc, AIM, MSN, and ICQ all in one neat skinable package =)

You forgot Yahoo.

ALEX- I have had little to no problems with Trillian. AIM drained MUCH more resources than Trillian, though the IRC function is slow.

ICQ was the best until 2000a screwed it up royally. It ran fine on my P133 with 16MB RAM until 2000a.

Correction: ICQ was the best until AOL came and screwed it up royally! They destroy everything they touch. Just look at Netscape!

Yeah, the last good ICQ was 98b. But, I must say I liked how AOL added IRC style messaging (like AIM's messaging) cause getting a different "note" everytime you got a message was kind of a pain.

I tell you though, ICQ Lite looks kinda nice if it does what it's supposed to. I might have to try it out on my Windows 98 laptop.

Was ICQ supposed to make you re-install windows?

I installed 2000a with no problems, it's runs perfectly fine...

How on Earth did it make you reinstall windows? Methinks something else may have been wrong with your system.
