Miranda IM is designed to be resource efficient and easy to use. It uses very little memory, requires no installation and can easily be carried around on a single floppy disc. The powerful plugin system makes Miranda IM extremely flexible. Only the most basic features are built in, but there are currently more than 130 plugins available for download that allows users to extend the functionality in Miranda IM. Plugins can be installed to add support for ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, AIM, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, Tlen, netsend and other protocols. Miranda IM is published under the GPL license and is free of charge. Miranda IM supports Windows NT4, 95, 98, Me, 2000 & XP.[/quote] ------------------------------ User opinions: The main reason for my looking into Miranda was the hope of finding a multi-protocol IM client which allows me to send offline messages to ICQ contacts who set their status to 'invisible' - something I haven't been able to do through Trillian for a while. After some testing I found that using Miranda I can do this without a problem, and that was reason enough for me to stick with it. On top of that, I've come to enjoy its simplistic user interface and extensive customizability. All in all, a really nice, lightweight messenger - especially considering that it is only version 0.3 as of now. -[internallink=4853]kuckus[/internallink] ------------------------------ I just installed it yesterday (17-aug-03), and I was at the first time a bit confused. I think it should have already came with Yahoo! protocol integrated, as it is one of the most popular. It did not really affected me, sicne there is a plug in around for it. Speaking of which, it does have some very useful plugins, like custom popups, and even a winamp controller ;P (well, they are useful at least for me). Its really simply and elegant, which could be a good or bad thing, depending your perspective. What currently bothers me is that one time or another provokes my computer to freeze. That may be just me, but i think its worth to consider this possible random error. -[internallink=5656]Alevice[/internallink] [Your opinion here] ------------------------------ Relevant links: [url=http://www.miranda-im.org/]http://www.miranda-im.org/[/url] - Official homepage of Miranda Instant Messenger [small][i](Added by: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/cgi-bin/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=kuckus]kuckus [/url] on Sat 16-Aug-2003)[/i][/small] [small][i](Edited by: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/cgi-bin/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=kuckus]kuckus [/url] on Sat 16-Aug-2003)[/i][/small] [small][i](Edited by: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/cgi-bin/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=Alevice]Alevice [/url] on Mon 18-Aug-2003)[/i][/small] Loading...
