[OS X] Fire - Multi Protocol IM

While I don't really use I'm very much, I do like Trillian for Windows. When I switched to OS X for my personal use, I was disappointed to find out that Trillian wasn't available.

I also found that I don't particularly like Yahoo messenger on OS X.

So, I was thrilled to learn of this little open source program. Fire.
https://fire.sourceforge.net/

I have been using it for a couple of weeks now. It seems to work perfectly well, from my point of view. I have MSN, Yahoo, and AIM open all the time. However, AIM doesn't automatically log on for some reason. Since I am not particularly interested in AIM, that really isn't a problem.

I strongly recommend that any OS X user try this program.
