*SNIP* The problem +is that after October 15th we will no longer be able to connect to MSN Messenger throu any 3rd-party apps as Microsoft+is looking to get paid in yet another area or something. They claim it's about security but we all know where they +really stand on that issue. *SNIP* what's happening is after october 15th, microsoft is still going to allow third party apps to connect to their messenger service. however, what is going to happen is that microsoft are going to sell licences to the developers of said third party apps so that they may continue to connect. how does this affect us, it's quite possible that we may no longer have support for msn messenger which is no skin off my nose as I still use windows anyway, no choice, they teach us that evil os. lol. I saw a post on the sydney linux users group earlier this week on a similar issue. we'll just have to see how this pans out. -- Shaun Oliver "Becareful of the toes u step on today, they maybe connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow!"
