Custom Emoticons. I know this reason is a bit petty but I've always been very expressive, IRL and online.

oh the smilies
why not just use/type them? I absolutely abhor those given with all the messenger clients, they're all so big and over the top. (and your other party sees what they have installed which may be something totally different than you see, there goes your cool effect
)

I do type them and I don't like the big ones either. However I do have a bunch of small animated ones. As most people use the MSN Messenger, I can count on them seeing my CEs without any problems. If they could come up with a closer emulation for Linux and a Win driver ripper (especially for my cell and the webcam), or more support, I'd go exclusive.

Thanked: 603 Anyone Use Linux?
I've been a Unix sysadmin since July 1988, and a Linux (RedHat) sysadmin since September 1996. Used RedHat/4.x through Fedora Core 5. When they released Fedora Core 6, I downloaded the DVD and tried to upgrade from FC5 to FC6. No go -- it trashed the installation on my RAID1 (mirrored pair) of 40GB Maxtors.Does anyone have an opinion on whether the upgrade from Fedora 5 to 6 is worth it?
I'd been interested in Debian for quite a while, and took the opportunity to use the new Debian Etch GUI Installer (Beta). It worked perfectly. The installer is now available as a newer, RC1 version.
Daily use of "apt-get update", followed by "apt-get -y dist-upgrade", the "apt-get clean" keep the installation 'bright and shiny'.
If you're not so comfortable using the CLI, do "apt-get install synaptic" (an excellent GUI-based program installer, which pulls whatever you want from the repositories listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, and it also pulls-over any other files on which the program(s) you want are dependent).
I'm waiting patiently for Debian Etch to be released, real soon now (but the beta version is rock-solid).You can have everything, and still not have enough.
I'd give it all up, for just a little more.
