good or bad?

I've heard it's buggy and a bit of a spyware pump, but then again i've heard its lighter than MSN and also better.

A question for anyone who uses/has used it - can you import msn contacts into ICQ?

Aaah, that's how you do it. I did that a few years ago with my old PC and then forgot the Msconfig bit. Did a search on the internet but turned up nowt, probably because I was ussing the wrong keywords. Anyway it was due a re-format as it was becoming over-run with spyware. Now I won't let her install ANYTHING from the internet.

Aaargh. I hate it. Mind you I don't actually use it, it's just that Lucy used to have it installed on her laptop (along with Messenger and some other IM) programmes and it used to do my head in that all these programs would load themselves as soon as it booted up, delaying my attempts to load up Championship Manager. Solved this problem a few months back by formatting her hard drive :->
