Thank YOU, Valerie! I'm happy to learn that someone else has used Pidgin and finds it as useful and non-intrusive as I have. Security is a big issue for me, too, so I'm not one to recommend just any program. I do a lot of research before installing anything and download only from sites I trust.

Peter, if you would like to email me, I'll do what I can to help you get setup. We can test it using AIM/YahooIM, if you have accounts with either of them, then work on the chat connection.

As for Pidgin, it has been around awhile and has gone through a lot of growing pains, but is now a lot more user-friendly. With its clean interface and numerous plugins to customize how it works, Pidgin is worth the price (free!)
