Feeling Chillin'
Hearing Elliott Smith I have been running AIM Pro most of the week to try it out.  Several people have asked me what I think of the client.  I like it!  It satisfies all my basic needs for instant messaging.  I like the clean visual look and feel and the responsiveness.  The outlook integration and security are nice plusses.  Many people seem to share my opinions.  But wait, performance of startup and signon are SLOWER than Triton.  There are no personalization options like buddy icons.  It doesn't have my favorite feature, the What's New indicator and doesn't support plugins very well.   Hmm.  Maybe that's not so bad for me.  It does have a nicer UI, doesn't it?  Take a look at the side-by-side screenshot and tell me what you think.  After looking closely, I think there is very little difference.  So, what do I really like about AIM Pro?  I'm not sure any more.  How about you?  Leave me a comment with your opinions.

  It looks nicer (IMO)... I don't like the fact some basic's are missing like fwd im's to mobile, and buddy icons.  but i have been using it for a few weeks now.
  
  we should change the triton ui.
