I think you would win a court case here. The first damage to the powerbook was caused by the faulty hinge.. any damage done after that is at least partially due to the broken hinge…

Its not the whole industry. My brother tripped over the powercable of my Thinkpad T42 and it fell about 7 feet and broke a corner of the laptop. I called Lenovo, and they fixed it…

i have always used ichat, but i'm curious about others. outside of ichat it appears fire and adium are the most popular. which aim compatible clients do you guys use and why?

Prepare for an Adium/Proteus holy war. Adium, btw, until iChat gets tabs, then I'll switch back.

I prefer Adium, never used Proteus.

Adium. Open source and free, updated often and in active development, most customizable, most features, uses the least resources (CPU, RAM etc) in my experience. http://adiumx.…

Adium since v1.2

Proteus by far for me. I know why some people like Adium, but I really just don't like it. Can't even say why for sure. I guess part of the problem is that I hate Adium's defaul…

For *just* AIM I would say iChat remains king. Adium still can't do Direct Connections, otherwise I'd give it the crown (I still use it anyway, it's very nice). I don't know what t…

I've been using Adium for years, and every other messaging client is crushed by it. Unless you want to do video chat... which I don't.

Adium

Adium rocks.

I used to be hardcore Proteus, but I switched to Adium a while back ago. And once you configure it correctly (with a nice UI) it's way better than Proteus, which isn't really activ…

Adium, although lack of direct connection and file sending makes me want to use the Windows AIM.

iChat has always worked just fine for me.

I use iChat, but there are definetly some features from aol's AIM that I wish I had in ichat, like be able to read full away messages, know how long someone is away and stuff like …

iChat all the way for me.

Adium is the best in my opinion though it has no video chat support. Let's hope it will be available soon.
