Nice try. On the occasion of deciding which flight to book from Ireland to Argentina, I called American Airlines and was informed that, in order to fly from one international destination to another on a flight that stops at a US airport, one has to change terminals, as arrival and departure will just about always be on different terminals. That, however, means leaving the international area, going through both Immigration and Customs, be photographed and fingerprinted like a criminal, potentially have the luggage searched, and the wife having to apply for a US visitor visa beforehand because Argentina fell out of the Visa Waiver Program a few years back when Argentina's currency collapsed. All the hassle for a few hours in the US? Sorry, mate. Too many reasons to choose Iberia and fly through Madrid instead of through Chicago with AA.
Well, I do Yahoo, but since none of the clones (Miranda, Trillian, GAIM, whatever) can do both voice and cam in Yahoo, I stick to the original client. Give me a client that does both voice and cam on Linux or FreeBSD using the Yahoo protocol, and away goes the original Yahoo Messenger, and Windows with it.
