Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the ejected-following-a-technical-foul dept.

joejg writes "As FootNotes is reporting, the developers at Gaim have responded to the ban Microsoft is placing upon users of third-party clients accessing the MSN protocol. It appears that starting October 15th I will not be able to talk to my MSN friend in South Korea." Gaim's site is more optimistic, saying they may still be able to connect, only without a license to do so.

    Everyone I know uses AIM, simply because it got their first.

    Their first what? Their first born?
