Does anybody know of a 3rd party instant messenger program which can use your net passport and by association remember all of you contacts?
My work has recently migrated all of their computers to another domain and have denied just about all permissions to do anything - ie delete an icon from your desktop, modify shortcuts in you all programs list etc. Some of these have been resolved, but messenger is blocked because some idiot might download an infected file... been using computers every day for just about the last 8 years now - it is soo insulting for my work to consider all employees as morons who would compromise the company security IT stuff.
Last week, before I managed to reinstall Firefox, using IE Webmarshall blocked access subsim.com forums because of the offensive language filter settings.... hmmm subsim is the most foul-mouthed site on the net, with more porn and vile debasing images than you can shake a stick at:roll::damn::down:

Anyways, any suggestions? wasn't there something called trillian a while back?:hmm:
