For what it's worth, you can customize Adium until a UB of MSN messenger is released. Have you tried that?
(And no, we don't know when it will be released )
MSN messenger for mac is horrid. Besides, I swear I remember M$ saying that along with Windows Media Player for Mac, they were also dropping support for Messenger for Mac
I dunno what it is about MSN Messenger I like. I think jsut after using it on the PC for years I have just got set in my ways. Adium is nice don't get me wrong, it just seems so bl…
You could give AMSN a try, it has many more features that the microsoft version (webcam, those huge smilies etc). It's a bit clunky, but if your Mac is new it should be ok.

As I thought, you haven't really looked at Adium

Actually, I don't think this issue has anything to do with PC or Mac formatting. The problem is that her iPod is set to sync with her computer, and if you connect it to another com…
Not only can you add songs to that iPod from a PC, you can do it from your Mac, too. What you can't do is update the iPod's firmware from a Mac. THAT is whta the "PC/Mac Formatti…
