I'm giving Trillian another go...

Google Talk has pushed me back over the edge. Too many programs, and they all do the same thing. I'll try Trillian again.

Trillian is a fully featured, stand-alone, skinnable chat client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC. It provides capabilities not possible with original network clients, while supporting standard features such as audio chat, file transfers, group chats, chat rooms, buddy icons, multiple simultaneous connections to the same network, server-side contact importing, typing notification, direct connection (AIM), proxy support, encrypted messaging (AIM/ICQ), SMS support, and privacy settings.

In 2 weeks it will expire. We'll see then if I pony up the $25 for Trillian Pro (the only way to get Google Talk) or go back to my wicked ways.

Expire!? I downloaded this thing for what I thought was free. Granted, I didn't download a trail of the "pro' version. Did I miss something? I hope not. I like it so far, and love how it doesn't push content on me like that craptacular AOL messenger did.

There are a few extra bits that the Pro version can do. The "lite" version or whatever it's called is free forever...

I gave up on Trillian a few years ago when it had too many problems, but went back to it recently. It's much better.

(I wonder if they'll ever integrate Google Talk in there, too...)

You need Trillian Pro to do Google Talk (which is just a Google version of Jabber, essentially)
