From PC Magazine info: IM Manager

I got this message from the PC Magazine newsletter: it sounds interesting - i don't IM. Someone might use it: Trillian Basic Version: 3.1.11.0 File Size: 8943k License Type: Free Operating Systems: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 9.x Sometimes it seems that instant messaging drives people further apart rather than bringing them closer. If you use AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), you can't communicate with MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger, for example, and vice versa. Trillian solves the problem. From one single interface, you can communicate with all the popular instant messengers, including AIM, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, and IRC. And it takes advantage of the unique features of each program, including file transfers and audio chats. It also keeps a message history so you can review all of your messaging, and includes plenty of other nice extras as well. --Preston Gralla Go to the download page now: http:// www.pcworld.c...

Great MAP info from Brenda B.

Some might know it already but Google's "version" of a geo-wikipedia, a sophisticated online application for user-generated geographic data is now launched! http://mapmaker.google.com/ To see an example of what could be achieved fast, zoom in (using the Mapmaker page and NOT the public http://maps.google.com pages, they are not the same data!) to Western Africa, or Kenya, India etc. where data shows, and check out some large cities to see the detail already captured.
